I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed.
— Karl Lagerfeld
I sleep seven hours. If I go to bed at two, I wake up at nine. If I go to bed at midnight, I wake up at seven. I don't wake up before - the house can fall apart, but I sleep for seven hours.
I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
There are so many people in the world who cannot read English or French or whatever.
Foreigners don't want to invest any more in France - and this is not working.
Don't dress to kill, dress to survive.
T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.
What I love best in life is new starts.
In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.
I never played with anything like toys.
I prefer to be in a video than to play with it.
Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don't believe too much into inspiration, only I'm waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It's a little too easy to say that.
No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things.
My favorite kitchen was the Japanese and the Italian kitchen.
I'm not a marketing person. I don't ask myself questions. I go by instinct.
I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.
I have now exactly the same weight I had when I was 18, 20.
I never drink anything hot; I don't like hot drinks, very strange.
Black-and-white always looks modern, whatever that word means.
I can do whatever I want.
I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.
Who buys French cars? Not me.
I don't want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy.
People like me were supposed to be into exclusivity, unapproachable. That's what I hate most. I think it's very demode.
Personally, I don't wear fur.
I can hardly eat meat because it has to look like something what it was not when it was alive.
Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection.
Music is part of the life of fashion, too.
Some people would like me to be round again.
No, I'm not a French designer either. I'm from nowhere. I'm a European, old European is all I am.
It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
I wanted to become a cartoon artist, a portrait artist, and an illustrator. This was my first idea.
I never - you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped.
I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18, so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first.
The first thing I do when I get up, I have breakfast.
I wanted to become an illustrator as a child.
The importance of logo into today's fashion is un! be! Lievable!
I don't speak Spanish, I speak a little of Italian but no Spanish.
I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it's a very healthy discipline.
I think tattoos are horrible. It's like living in a Pucci dress full-time.
I'm totally myself.
In France there are, I think, less than one per cent of people who are too skinny.
What I enjoy most is doing something I've never done before.
Bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them.
Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.
Oh yes, I love to do shoes. I'm not a fetishist but I love to do shoes.
No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important.
If there's something dangerous, sauces are dangerous for the body.
I never smoked. I never drank and I never took drugs. The funny thing is, nothing is more boring, people like this. For me, it's OK. But most of my friends, at least they smoke and drink.
I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was.
