Beauty—or the desire to be beautiful—is in itself a dangerous motivation. 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.

I buy my shoes a size too small. I like the way it feels.

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

Don't dress to kill, dress to survive.

I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.

I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it's a very healthy discipline.

Work is making a living out of being bored.
