What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.

I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.

A fragrance is a veritable story, told and explained in scent, in notes, in impressions. It's a score based on the emotions of each instant, a captivating music of the senses.

Run away from laziness; work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.

Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.

Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now

When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.

Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.

If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.

It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion.

Fashion is like a fruit, you couldn't eat it a day before and you can't eat it a day after; it's just about today

Real prayer seeks an audience and an answer.

Olympism is the marriage of sport and culture.

I remember being in Hollywood at the age of 16 and marveling at the stars. The idea of being part of it never entered my mind. It was too far-fetched.

I could be working 300 hours a week. I just say no. The power of slow is the power of no. I can’t go to every party I get invited to. I can’t do every work thing.

A man who cannot control his temper is not very likely to control his passions, and no matter what his pretensions in religion, he moves in daily life very close to the animal plane.

I failed public speaking in grade school, 'cause I was so nervous and scared.

Compromise built upon compromise equals failure. Instead, resisting temptation allowed promise upon promise to be built up in my heart, and that creates empowerment.

There is never a deed so foul that something couldn't be said for the guy; that's why there are lawyers.

I want to live a full life - period.

To refine, to clarify, to intensify that eternal moment in which we alone live there is but a single force the imagination.
