Fashion fosters cliches of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.

My family was too serious. They didn't take care of me - it was a very serious and severe life. Not severe in a bad way; just boring - like totally neutral. I felt no emotion.

I once tried to make lace - which has been a great obsession of women - unsexy. And I achieved it.

I don't believe that anyone is not bothered by critics. I think that everybody cares.

You need to have dignity towards how you are, how you dress, how you behave. Very important.

You cannot do something just for the money. You have to do things you believe in and eventually you will make money.

The younger generations have their own ideas, they have their own projects. When they talk, I am always surprised how much more lucid and cultivated they are and how they see things in a way that is much more complex than, for example, other generations did.
