I think of many people and no one as a muse. I love the way Sofia looks always, and I love the way Kim looks always. Fashion may be part of their world, but it's not their whole life. It's not everything.

Sometimes there are two very opposite directions, and we go with the stronger one at the end. It's an impulse thing, like, 'Oh, I love both so much, but it's got to be one or the other because the two don't work together.'

I don't think there is just one Louis Vuitton woman. That is why, for the fall/winter 2011 show, I loved the idea of lots of different characters - a wife, a mistress, a girlfriend - stepping out of the row of hotel elevators.

I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.

I don't find clothes sexy at all. I find people sexy.

One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.

I don’t throw cell phones. I don’t hurt people, I only hurt myself.
