I am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'

I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.

A fragrance is a veritable story, told and explained in scent, in notes, in impressions. It's a score based on the emotions of each instant, a captivating music of the senses.

Run away from laziness; work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.

Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.

Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now

When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.

Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.

If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.

It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion.

Fashion is like a fruit, you couldn't eat it a day before and you can't eat it a day after; it's just about today

One does not need to be a good fighter to put up a good fight.

I know that part of the reason I read Tolkien when I'm ill is that there is an almost total absence of sexuality in his world, which is restful.

Violence as a way of gaining power... is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security.

I notoriously get the hiccups. When I get the hiccups, I get it numerous times in one day.

Get the action habit - you do not need to wait until conditions are perfect.

You look like an angel, walk like an angel, talk like an angel. But I got wise, you're the devil in disguise.

When we teach kids to follow the rules that there’s only one right answer & to avoid mistakes at all costs, we’re resigning them to average.

For most people, the price for security is personal freedom. And without freedom, many people spend their lives working for money, rather than living out to their dreams

Imagine your anger to be a kind of wild beast, because it has ferocious teeth and claws, and if you don't tame it, it will devastate all things even corrupting the soul.

He that seeks here any other thing but simply God and the salvation of his soul, will find nothing but trouble and sorrow.
