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.

No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things.

My sisters were sent away because my mother thought they were boring. I was not boring.

They are this horrible thing where you are distorted. The chin is too big, the head is too small. No, this is electronic masturbation.

I make such big efforts to forget things and I can't tell the story of my life because, thank God, I'm still living it.

Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans — it’s up to you.

The purpose of life is life.
