I am a fashion person, and fashion is not only about clothes - it's about all kinds of change

I don't want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven't done. There's no "again." There's only the future. I hate the past - especially my own past.

The flat shoe makes the woman equal of men. When they have high [shoes], they play a part like a geisha, and they can't be expected to be taken that seriously.

Success nullifies. You then have to do it again, preferably differently.

I must say, some are not very beautifully made. They’re coffee-table books for people who drink alcohol. I have nothing against coffee-table books as long as they are well done. They must not look like gravestones on a table. Sometimes they are too big, they come in boxes and things like this. No, a book has to be easy to open and you don’t have to be a bodybuilder to lift it. I like books I can read in bed. Those big tombstones would kill me.

I have no scene, I go everywhere, I adapt.

You have to be impeccable - I was always told as a child by my mother that you always have to be impeccable, even when you go to bed.
