I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
Karl LagerfeldThere's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes.

Someone (I forgot who) once said, ‘Does the person who loves someone for their beauty really love them?’ So don’t focus on beauty ... a respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul. It is the sum of our experiences that makes us interesting, and having been through a time in your life in which you were in a bad place (or what you perceived as a bad place) physically, can be useful. It can even be necessary.
