As a child, I was raised with my grandmother, alongside all my cousins, and the kitchen was always full.

Fashion will last forever. It will exist always. It will exist in its own way in each era. I live in the moment. It's interesting to know the old methods. But you have to live in the present moment.

When I see beautiful clothes, I want to keep them, preserve them... Clothes, like architecture and art, reflect an era.

I make clothes, women make fashion.

It's important to make women feel confident, because I think they are more important than men.

My obsession is to make women beautiful. When you create with that in mind, things can't go out of fashion.

I like black, because for me it is a very happy color.

Perfection is never achieved, so you need to go on working.

I am never sure that anythings good enough. Something that is good today will not be good tomorrow.

I think women should be seductive, not triste. Theres enough sadness in life now without making women look sad, too.

A gold tooth is to some blacks, what braces are to all whites.

If you see a strange thing, try to understand it! If you can understand it, nothing strange will remain!

False happiness renders men stern and proud and that happiness is never communicated. True happiness renders kind and sensible and that happiness is always shared.

The things which are most important don’t always scream the loudest.

Every man's death is standing in for every other. And since death comes to all there is no way to abate the fear of it except to love the man who stands for us.

In public administration good sense would seem to require that public expectation be kept at the lowest possible level in order to minimize eventual disappointment.

You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.

I never set out to be rich and famous. I wanted to follow my own path.

Faithful horoscope-watching, practiced daily, provides just the sort of small but warm and infinitely reassuring fillip that gets matters off to a spirited start.

People keep asking me what I think of it now that it's done. Hence my protest: The Web is not done!
