When I see beautiful clothes, I want to keep them, preserve them... Clothes, like architecture and art, reflect an era.

Fashion will last forever. It will exist always. It will exist in its own way in each era. I live in the moment. It's interesting to know the old methods. But you have to live in the present moment.

I make clothes, women make fashion.

It's important to make women feel confident, because I think they are more important than men.

My obsession is to make women beautiful. When you create with that in mind, things can't go out of fashion.

I like black, because for me it is a very happy color.

Perfection is never achieved, so you need to go on working.

I am never sure that anythings good enough. Something that is good today will not be good tomorrow.

I think women should be seductive, not triste. Theres enough sadness in life now without making women look sad, too.

There is a sensuality about fabric. I think all materials should be inviting when they touch the skin. When I watch children stroking their mothers clothes, I feel that I have succeeded.

If you're sad about what you see in the mirror when you wake up every morning, you must change it.

Darling, has not the count just told us that all human wisdom is summed up in two words? Wait and hope.

I didn't just see a child in my dreams—I felt it in my heart.

Contemporary audiences, other than those making a deliberate historical leap, would find, say, the 1931 'Dracula' impossibly slow.

It's unfortunate, I've been the victim of some Australian press.

Do not imprison those about you to your way of thinking; give your companion the opportunity to interpret life as freely as you do.

Fate! There is no fate. Between the thought and the success God is the only agent. Fate is not the ruler, but the servant of Providence.

If they could cut off my head and put it onto another body that was, like, 20 years old, I would do that.

Adieu! 'tis love's last greeting, The parting hour is come! And fast thy soul is fleeting To seek its starry home.

I don't think anywhere you go to get news is news anymore. It is commentary, but mostly it is the advancement of agenda.

I love London. I would move here. I like British people; everybody is so down to earth.
