Paris is paramount for fashion, always was - always will be.

I've never been tempted to do these hideous furniture shoes.

I'm a doodler. It was my first job as a boy, and I still do it. At night I keep a block of paper and a pencil with a huge piece of string next to me. When I have an idea, I grab the string and just doodle.

I wish I was making shoes instead of reading or watching movies, which is what I do in my free time.

I do think one should have clean feet.

I think Lucy Ferry, now Birley, is absolutely beautiful. She's a modern girl, but she moves beautifully. Amanda [Harlech] moves beautifully when she's not working. All those English leftover society girls.

I get more tired by travelling than anything.
