People might think I'm very hard, what with my black make-up, my hair over my eyes, etc. My innocence didn't always help me, but it did preserve something in me that maybe others don't have anymore. I'm inside my bubble, you could say, and thankfully so, because I don't think daily life is always great. It protects me.

Becoming a grandmother brought me back to the things I forgot to love. Nature. Playing. Seeing animals. A new way of looking. A rejuvenation. A cycle of life - things come back to you. The details.

My father was very chic. My mum was always encouraging me. Some parents would say, 'Why don't you be a lawyer, a doctor, or something more important?' They never said that.

The Russians are extreme people: they are generous but crazy at the same time. They always have something to say, and I really like that.

Fashion is a hard business.

When everything is good, maybe I think it's the time to do something else.

I think the 'Harpers Bazaar' woman is not a fashion victim; she understands fashion but is not a victim, you know.
Carine Roitfeld -

I like to provoke. I'm very French.

When you go to a show, Americans in New York are very proper, much more so than the French. Everything is perfect. Their hair, the nails, everything. The look. Everything is perfection.

Karl Lagerfeld looks very tough because of the glasses, and he has all these rings and the leather gloves, and he's so smart. But he's a very nice person... when he comes into a room or studio, he is going to say hello to each person, and the same when he leaves.

When you're writing, you're on your own, and I like to work as a team.

You know it's very important, the role of a mother... I don't know, but it's feminism to me to love your kids.

I hate people who over intellectualize. It bores me deeply.
Carine Roitfeld -
I know that people in fashion and people in general hate to be filmed.

Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.
