I am insecure. Everyone's insecure.

If I look back I feel frightened, not happy, because my life is a bit of a mystery to me.

I don't consider myself a fashion designer.

About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.

You realize how much fun we did have, with no money at all. We'd stay in peoples' homes in Tangiers. When you're young, you invite yourself.

The only people that come to my mind in the last years are Lee McQueen and John Galliano. Truly, truly . . . How do I say? Full of ideas. Full of the smell. They just had this incredible passion for what they did.

Trends don't interest me.
