Fashion is a playground up until a certain age. But then you have to find your own signature and your own style.

What I find most interesting in fashion is that it has to reflect our time. You have to witness your own moment.

Never forget that what becomes timeless was once truly new.

More than anything, I'm designing for a woman of today. I want to be a witness of my time.

I'd rather work with someone who likes what I do than create something for the red carpet that won't make me happy.

You never do things thinking you will make a big statement. It just happens sometimes and you are lucky.

In French we have this word déclic. It's when you have, suddenly, a light shining and you say, "This is what I want to do."

I put pressure on myself to propose something new - I think it's the minimum that you can do as a fashion designer.

For a long time, my uniform consisted of a trench coat, wide flared jeans, and little bottines - I copied a pair that my mother had in this theater place. I had, like, 10 pairs of the same shoes.

Your priority has to be the creativity - and build a brand. That's what everybody did - Balenciaga, Dior, Saint Laurent. That's the smart thing to do.

You need something that puts a little distance between what you really are and what you want to show; it's a shield, a protection.

It is not easy to talk about a condition once dismissed as ‘the career women’s disease’. But women will continue to suffer until we realise the cost of ignoring it

A retreatist spirituality is not a spirituality that can, or will, transform the world in Jesus's name.

Ours is a bad, bad world, but does that mean nothing's good? Does it mean we have run out of things for which to be grateful? No, no, a thousand times, no!

Sam's light-cycle, the car, and the jets are new of course, and other stuff. The new ones are sleeker and so contemporary, that if you could put them in a car design show they would hold up.

I used to get bummed out when it rained; then I realized that it's God's way of washing off hippies.

The only currency I value is the coin of the spirit. That's very important in my life.

No matter where you're from, your dreams are valid.

Today is what the Lord has prepared you for.

There is a limit to human intelligence, but there is no limit to human stupidity

In the mind of the beginner, there are many possibilities. In the mind of the expert there are few.
