I really think that creating clothes and fashion has to be a statement about how we live and where we live and what's happening in the world.

There'll always be a McQueen woman. She's strong, powerful & when she puts a McQueen jacket on, she feels different.

Do what you love and believe in, and work hard.

We don't take on battles so small we know we can win, we take on battles so big we dare to dream of winning them.

When you design a collection, you have to start with what you love and what you believe in. Unless you do that, you can't stand behind it, so there's no point in doing it.

Every day, I love what I do and I think it's a gift and privilege to love your job.

A McQueen woman always has to feel powerful. She's never a girly girl, she's always a woman.

Dreams are never just dreams, they are reality waiting to happen.

I always drew dresses. I remember loving Richard Avedon's early Versace campaigns. I used to plaster my whole walls with them when I was a kid.

Whenever I pick up a jacket and it's heavy, I think, 'Oh, I don't want to wear that.'

It has been the experience of a lifetime to work with Catherine Middleton to create her wedding dress, and I have enjoyed every moment of it.

For he or she that harbours no fear has never truly loved anything. You can only measure true love by the thought and fear of its loss.

All I want to do is make people beautiful.

What you’re believing in the moment creates your suffering or your happiness.

But we're lost in a world of appearances now.

Well, it is a humiliating reflection, that the straightest road to a man's heart is through his palate.

In solitude we become aware that we were together before we came together and that life is not a creation of our will but rather an obedient response to the reality of our being united.

When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.

Even if I had any money I would rather burn everything I own and not even give them the ashes. They could have the job of picking them up. That's how much I hate the media industry.

It's been 18 months since I won on the European Tour and to win the flagship event, I could not have asked for any more.

You know, maybe that's all anybody wants, is to be useful. And have somebody else notice it.
