The purpose of life is life.

The best ideas I've had in my life are those I saw in my sleep, in the early morning.

People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.

Evolution is the secret for the next step.

I'm never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that's the secret to doing things well.

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

Chanel is composed of only a few elements, white camellias, quilted bags and Austrian doorman's jackets, pearls, chains, shoes with black toes. I use these elements like notes to play with.
