I was a feminist in the Sixties, and can you imagine? The worst thing I could have done was to be in fashion. It was the most uncomfortable position.

What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.

Women always try to tame themselves as they get older, but the ones who look best are often a bit wilder.

You cannot do something just for the money. You have to do things you believe in and eventually you will make money.

Ugly is attractive, ugly is exciting. Maybe because it is newer. The investigation of ugliness is, to me, more interesting than the bourgeois idea of beauty. And why? Because ugly is human.

I always wanted to be different. I always wanted to be first.

What you wear represents you to the world, especially now, when communication between people is so fast. Fashion is a universal language that everyone understands.

You have to embrace the world if you want to live in it now.

What interests me most is when a work of art is no longer just an object, but also touches reality and life.

I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty.

Daring to wear something different takes effort.

Greatness in the last analysis is largely bravery-courage in escaping from old ideas and old standards.

There is a lovely root to the word humiliation - from the latin word humus, meaning soil or ground. When we are humiliated, we are in effect returning to the ground of our being.

A house and a woman sute excellently.

You simply cannot blame anyone or anything for causing you to be, think or respond in a certain way.

Anything over-handed, I do left-handed. Like throwing a ball or serving in tennis. Otherwise, right-handed, like writing and shaving.

Fear must be entirely banished. The purified soul will fear nothing.

To suggest is to create; to describe is to destroy.

Proofs exist only in mathematics and logic, not in science.

I think Veblen had an interest in logic.

All things are from water and all things are resolved into water.
