I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.

My clothes have a story. They have an identity. They have a character and a purpose. That's why they become classics. Because they keep on telling a story. They are still telling it.

You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.

The fight is no longer between the classes or between rich and poor but between the idiots and the eco-conscious.

Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.

Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.

It is extremely difficult to say how long the process actually took to finally achieve my fragrance, Boudoir, because there was a lot of time waiting around for other people.

I'm not trying to do something different, I'm trying to do the same thing but in a different way

I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish.

Buy less, choose well: that's the maxim. Quality not quantity. That's the most environmentally friendly thing you can do.

The sexiest people are thinkers. Nobody's interested in somebody who's just vain with a hole in their head, talking about the latest thing - there is no latest thing. It's all rubbish.

The golden rule is of no use whatsoever unless you realize that it is your move.

Take the regular wagon track and never leave it.

I don't take it lightly that I brought a life into this world. They're waiting for you every day, these sweet little angels. You have to have time for them to interact on a daily basis.

This sort of thing has got to be stopped. Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put them out of business.

I made a drawing for a book I'm working . It's a little drawing of a girl who's ashamed and upset and hides in the corner of the closet. It's the kind of drawing that I feel like I'm really good at.

My hands, my feet, I throw my whole body to say all that is within me.

You are free to smile in the midst of massive tests and challenges, knowing that you have chosen to play this game, and that you have dominion over all the appearances of earth.

As long as we focus on the outside, there will always be that empty, hungry, lost place inside that needs to be filled.

Out of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.

Fear and ignorance are the key roots to racism.
