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.

The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.

I am a black diamond, unfaceted. Black diamonds are rare, hard to cut, and therefore uncommercial.

What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.

I'm very happy that I have an Italian version, a French version, and then I have my own company, but I'm not obsessed by my name. Some people are, "Oh, my name," but I couldn't care less about my name. What I like is the job. The ego trip of that comes later.

I am very boring, but it has allowed me to survive better than other people. If you don't drink, you don't smoke, and you don't do drugs, and you're not missing it and never even wanted it, and you sleep for seven hours. I tell you, life is quite pleasant.

I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.

If you attach no importance to weight problems, if not being able to wear new, trendy small-sized clothes does not cause you any regret, this book is not for you.

I have a guest house because I don't want people in my home.

The middle has not enough class that I think about the middle class.

I think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door.

I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work.

When I wake up I look like a madman, like something out of a horror movie! That's why I sleep alone. But the funny thing is that I'm very impeccable and clean before I go to bed. It's just like right before I'm going out.

When I was a child, my mother always told me that you could wake up in the middle of the night and be deathly sick, so you always have to be impeccable. I laugh about it now, but I think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door.

Adele is another problem. I never said that she was fat. I said that she was a little roundish; a little roundish is not fat. But for such a beautiful girl... after that she lost eight kilos [17.6 pounds] so I think the message was not that bad.

Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants.

For me, Chanel is like music. There are certain notes and you have to make another tune with them.

I hate the word 'cheap'. People are cheap. Clothing is either expensive or inexpensive.

I'm always busy. You know, the more I do, the more ideas I have—that's the funny thing. The brain is a muscle, and I'm a kind of body builder.

Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.

Designers must be both conscious and unconscious at the same time. Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle talent.

Because I stopped dieting already six months ago, and I think it's important to bring out a book like this and you are there a year later and say look, I'm still like this.
