When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

I have more friends in New York than Paris.

Forgiveness isn’t something I’m preoccupied with — turning the other cheek isn’t my trip.

I'm not a marketing person. I don't ask myself questions. I go by instinct.

I am not a second option person. It is that or nothing. If it is not the way I see it I prefer not to see it.

Forget about your folklore. I can take a few inspirations, but I can certainly not do an homage. That's not my trip. I'm a fashion vampire. I take what I need and I leave the rest.

Keep the best, forget the rest.
