I like Stella [McCartney] a lot - she's a very open and warm person. I don't particularly want to know about her background.

I usually work really instinctively and it's afterwards that I think about what it means. I don't know consciously that I have these themes that run through my work.

I don't think of Maria Schneider like idol anymore, because I worshipped her when I was young.

I don't think I am going to do pictures which are anything like Renaissance art.

The only time this happened to me before was in Jil Sander in Berlin where they said, "We have nothing that will fit you." I said, "Yes, you do." And I found something great. This happens to me in Paris again and again and again. They don't carry anything over size 40 which is nothing, because I wear a size 42 or 44 but that's hard to find in Paris among the designer clothes. All stores are like that.

Of course I was wearing make-up, I never went anywhere without red lipstick for 25 years! It was a form of self-preservation for me to continue to wear lipstick even though my face was broken.

[John] Cassavetes, "Killing of a Chinese Booker", "Opening Night" are my favourites.
