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

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!"

I was fascinated looking at John Galliano's couture. They're just extraordinary extravaganzas and I love it. I love looking at it because it's like going to a museum.

Strangers take a long time to become acquainted, particularly when they are from the same family.

Train, don't strain.

I think to make your home as comfortable as possible is so important. There’s something really interesting about that as a trend, that whole idea of lifestyle and being happy in your surroundings.

You can make it your excuse, or you can make it your story.

We desire to understand the world by giving names to the things we see, but these things are only the effects of something subtle.

I'm not pushing myself forward in denial of the moment. I'm pushing myself forward and enjoying every moment voraciously. I'm thinking about the next thing but not at the expense of the present.

The world must become romanticized, and in that way we find again its original meaning for us.

If you had to define stress, it would not be far off if you said it was the process of living. The process of living is the process of having stress imposed on you and reacting to it.

Reaper of enemies; strong of grip; One kind with his fathers.

So it shall be written. So it shall be done.
