What I hate is nasty, ugly people.
— Karl Lagerfeld
Greece needs to work on a cleaner image. It's a big problem, as they have this reputation of being so corrupt.
I think it's horrible that people have to be told. Don't smoke! Everybody knows it's bad for the health. But they have to forbid it.
I don't know what 'normal' means, anyway.
I can no longer walk in the street. That's over.
Work is making a living out of being bored.
Why should I stop working? If I do, I'll die and it'll all be finished.
No one wants to see curvy women.
I love to watch times change!
I'm not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed.
I am not a second option person. It is that or nothing. If it is not the way I see it I prefer not to see it.
I'm not a fortune-teller.
I have my permanent muses and my muses of the moment.
I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know.
I always loved advertising. If I hadn't been in fashion, I'd have been in advertising.
I hate the past - especially my own past.
I love dogs, but dogs, you have to be in the country with dogs. I cannot walk a dog on the street.
Fortunately there is more wealth in the world than there was at the time of the global economic crisis of 1929 - Chinese, Indian, Arab and Russian.
I am like a TV antenna. I catch everything that is in the air, and then I do it my way.
I have no human feelings.
I don't want to be on the Internet.
I eat next to nothing.
I'm lucky to work in the most perfect of conditions.
I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.
There are less than 1 per cent of anorexic girls, but there more than 30 per cent of girls in France - I don't know about England - that are much, much overweight. And it is much more dangerous and very bad for the health.
I don't do meetings.
I like to do things quickly because I'm easily bored.
Doing collections, doing fashion is like a non-stop dialogue.
You have to like the present; if not your life becomes secondhand, if you think it was better before. Or that it will be better in the future.
Buy clothes the size you want to wear.
The brain is a muscle, and I'm a kind of body-builder.
I've done many ads because that's my new career. It's an inspiring extension for my mind.
A collection is not just one basic idea. It comes from something that is in the air, something you suddenly like and put down on paper and then work out.
No, I never thought I would like cats.
I have moved to a smaller house in Paris, and I don't fancy having so much staff now.
Don't overact the story of your name. Overact the story of your work.
I never fall in love.
I'm German in my mind, but from a Germany that doesn't exist any more.
I do my job like I breathe.
There's something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living.
The story with anorexic girls - nobody works with anorexic girls. That has nothing to do with fashion.
I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going - I have no post-satisfaction.
I'm like a rock singer with one-night stands on the road.
I'm an iPod person.
Clothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It's a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.
I never look at my watch when I'm sketching!
I think for my bones and my size, I better stay with my 60 kilo.
People can drink with their eyes; I can eat with my nose.
What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.
My opinion can be completely different after a show.
