I was a disaster child. I remember I make very often my mother cry.

There is a real vulgarity in the way women dress at the moment. They show off too much and try too hard. They don't understand where the line is between sexy and vulgar. I know where that line is.

I love clothes and fashion more than music

I think I was the first to show that a designer could be like a rock star, that people should love your fashion but also put your name together with your fashion.

Nature is my main source of inspiration - I will never stop taking hints from what I call 'the greatest artist'

Sometimes women are afraid to be sexy and women should know that sometimes a dress can change her life

I really admire a woman for her intelligence, her personality. Beauty is not enough.

A beautiful dress can be as exciting as a poem.

Enlightenment is finding that there is nothing to find. Enlightenment is to come to know that there is nowhere to go.

All my life I have prayed to God that I should remain religiously orthodox, culturally conservative, politically liberal and economically pragmatic.

I'm interested in how people shoot because I have a very specific way of shooting and I'm fascinated by the way other people shoot films, particularly if they're smart and talented.

I'm not trying to be a big shot or anything like that, but I get my drinks half price.
