You should put on the best version of yourself when you go out in the world because that is a show of respect to the other people around you.

Time and silence are the most luxurious things today.

I love fashion. What I love is the ability to express yourself, to be able to make a product and shoot an ad campaign that tosses you out into the world and lets you have a voice in contemporary culture, iconography. I felt a little bit neutered not having that voice.

I don't believe that clothes can start a revolution, but I do believe that fashion is often a manifestation of a sociological or political climate.

I went to a fashion show, and this silver-haired guy was staring at me with these piercing water-blue eyes. It scared me because I absolutely saw and knew my entire future.

I think that monogamy is artificial. I do not think it's something that comes naturally to us.

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