Have you ever held a snake? Well, let me tell you, it is so erotic.

I love street, adore street. Life is about mixing things and to be divine in the streets. Voila!

You can squint and see something else, or something will come forward in the paint. You'll always see something else.

You have to want to dare being a model. You have to dare or you don't go that step further. You have to be willing to stretch - and to not only be willing to stretch, but to want to stretch.

I hate grunge. It was the worst period of my life.

Style doesn't have seasons.

I personally do not think that I have ever done, in my working life, anything vulgar. I know I've done provocative things.

You cannot squelch what's happening at the moment - you cannot put a lid on it and squash it down.

I remember once I didn't like a dress that we had to shoot - I'll never forget this - and so I turned it inside out and put it on the model backward.

I wear all my T-shirts from Helmut Lang with the holes in the elbows, which people always speak of. When my husband gets a hole in his sweater, at his elbow, he says, "It's very Helmut Lang!"

Helmut Lang is an amazing man - always striving, always moving forward.

It is nice to touch, it is nice to be touched, but it is so much nicer to touch someone's heart.

I am completely unflustered by whichever medium people choose to read my words. I'm just delighted they're reading them at all!

But if we do not dream, then I think perhaps we are misusing our heads. They are not on our shoulders only to be farms for hair.

The first Broadway show I ever heard was the recording of 'Carousel', and it was a very vivid experience.

I'm moved by us, our quirks and mistakes.

Temples are an expression of God's love

The soul needs attention like the body needs to breath.

The words loved me and I loved them in return.

Posterity allows to every man his true value and proper honours.

I am not in the world to care for my life, but for souls.
