Forgiveness is too easy. I can forget by indifference, but not forgive. I prefer revenge.

With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.

I am a sort of vampire, taking the blood of other people.

Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young. You can fool anyone, apart from the young. The worst are the lip operations. There are people who have it done and I don't recognise them afterwards. They look like they flew through the windscreen during a car accident and were patched up badly afterwards.

Children are the last thing I want. I hate all children. For other people, it's fine, but not for me. I was born not to be a family person.

What I do Coco would have hated. The label has an image and it's up to me to update it. I do what she never did. I had to find my mark. I had to go from what Chanel was to what it should be, could be, what it had been to something else.

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.
