When I first saw a picture of the crucifixion, I lost respect for my parents. I suddenly realised that this is what the adult world is like - full of cruelty and hypocrisy.

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.

To live with regret is to deny one's life of living.

My mum told me to have patience. It's about realising that when things aren't going the way you want them to, or you don't have inspiration, it will come.

Ultimately, the reward is the process - the process of photographing and discovering and trying to understand why and what am I photographing.

I don't really have studios. I wander around - around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me.

The experience of the race shows that we get our most important education not through books but through our work. We are developed by our daily task, or else demoralized by it, as by nothing else.

Compromise is when one person wants to rob a bank and the other person does not, and they compromise to rob a person outside of the bank.

This demand follows from an insight that I was the first to articulate: that there are no moral facts.

However old a conjugal union, it still garners some sweetness. Winter has some cloudless days, and under the snow a few flowers still bloom.

There's no doubt about it... I was born a feminist.

Inspiration without action is really entertainment. So while something can be very inspiring it is not transformative until you actually do something with it.
