I grew up with the idea that once you found yourself with your clothes, why change?

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.

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.

Anyone who has genuinely seen God is deeply convicted of his or her own sin.

Karma, simply put, is an action for an action ... good or bad.

The thicker the hay; the easier mowed.

The only measure of what you believe is what you do.

Terror has its inspiration, as well as competition.

Love with no feelings is a waste.

My father was a Little League dictator. That really affected me, his control-freakery, his impunity, his arbitrary unreasonable power.

I have a lot of sides to my personality and what you see on 'The Hills' is a strong, independent woman, which I am. But I also have a sensitive side that I don't show too much.

Inadequacy of his own strength, learned from experience, impels and urges a man to enlist the help of others.

I don't plan massively in advance.
