A film should be somewhat personal. I think that whatever you create you have to be true to yourself and create something that feels right to you.

Glamour is something more than what you put on your body. It has to do with the way you carry yourself and the impact you have on others.

I realized that the way I approached architecture was with a somewhat fashion brain. That didn't get me very good marks in school, because everyone thought fashion was lightweight. In architecture they say, "Well, why is the door pink? Where does it go? What does the pink mean? What does it symbolize? All the other doors are beige, why is that one pink?" I was like, "Well, it's pink because it's pretty."

You know that only thing that has made the whole thing worthwhile has been those few times that I was able to truly connect with another person.

I hope people will put aside Tom Ford the fashion designer and think about Tom Ford the filmmaker.

You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.

You have to love what you do to the point that you can't imagine doing anything else with your life.
