"Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality."

"People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory."

"The woman is the most perfect doll that i have dressed with delight and admiration."

"Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you."

"Stuff your brain with knowledge."

"Don’t overact the story of your name. Overact the story of your work."

"Stuff your brain with knowledge."

"I am a fashion person, and fashion is not only about clothes -- it's about all kinds of change"

"Fashion is about two things: the evolution and the opposite."

"Fashion is about going ahead, not about memory."

"Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you."

"When people want to be liked for what they did, they should stop."

"Dieting is the only game where you win when you lose!"

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

"I like to reinvent myself — it’s part of my job."
