I only go to places if I have a professional reason. I'm not a tourist.

With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.

Forgiveness isn’t something I’m preoccupied with — turning the other cheek isn’t my trip.

I don't want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven't done. There's no "again." There's only the future. I hate the past - especially my own past.

-
Life should be larger than life. Size is important to escape normalization.
Karl Lagerfeld
-
Only the minute and the future are interesting in fashion -- it exists to be destroyed. If everybody did everything with respect, you'd go nowhere.

There are not too many people with an opinion I care for.

It's up to you to make every day as perfect as possible - it's a question of will and discipline.

I'm not a social person. Not that I'm not at ease. I'm pretty good, but it bores me. Not the people, but the whole thing. What for? It's not very productive. I only want to do what I have to do: fashion, photography, books. And that's all.
Karl Lagerfeld
-
I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there's no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.

I imagine the world from my window ... Traveling, I think it's a nightmare today. The airports and things the people in the street with the selfies ... I like to stay at home and read.

People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.

When I was a child, I never played with other children. I hated them.

What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones... You can remember every line to their songs. But today, how often do you remember any of the lines to songs? I mean, I know that one of the Lily Allen's last albums is called It's Not Me, It's You. But I don't know how the songs go.

I must say, some are not very beautifully made. They’re coffee-table books for people who drink alcohol. I have nothing against coffee-table books as long as they are well done. They must not look like gravestones on a table. Sometimes they are too big, they come in boxes and things like this. No, a book has to be easy to open and you don’t have to be a bodybuilder to lift it. I like books I can read in bed. Those big tombstones would kill me.

Don't look to the approval of others for your mental stability
Karl Lagerfeld

The motivation is doing for doing, not [for] having done.

I like girls to be wild but at the same time beautifully brought up and very funny.
Karl Lagerfeld

I never touch sugar, cheese, bread... I only like what I'm allowed to like. I'm beyond temptation. There is no weakness. When I see tons of food in the studio, for us and for everybody, for me it's as if this stuff was made out of plastic. The idea doesn't even enter my mind that a human being could put that into their mouth. I'm like the animals in the forest. They don't touch what they cannot eat.

Virgos are very faithful. I'm a faithful friend. I'm a faithful lover.
