The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.
I always wanted to live a man’s life in a woman’s body.
It’s not about going to a party. It’s life as a party.
Silence, nothing is better.
You don’t want to exaggerate any feature noticeably. I think only truly beautiful women can exaggerate and they usually don’t have to.
In Sardinia one summer my best friend Marisa Berenson and I ironed each other’s hair. We used a hot laundry iron and took turns putting our hair on the ironing board, literally ironing it. That’s a recipe for straightening that may be highly successful, but is definitely not recommended.
It is more important to be pretty as a woman than to be fashionable.
Women never cease to impress and inspire me.
The easier your hair is to manage the happier you’ll be with it and the prettier you’ll feel.
New York seemed as young as I was and infinitely hospitable.
When you feel humiliated or things like that, you either use it as fuel to change or you get covered by it.
I was a very young girl and I got into fashion very much by accident, wanting to be independent. What was wonderful was that while I was learning and discovering – learning about the work, discovering myself as a woman – I was allowing other women to feel the same way.
I always knew the woman I wanted to be-I knew I wanted to be a woman who was independent a woman who was in the driving seat, a woman who didn’t need for the man to decide.
Passion and persistence are what matter. Dreams are achievable and you can make your fantasy come true, but there are no shortcuts. Nothing happens without hard work.
My best creation is my children.
Do less but do better. Get back to yoga. Remember that stress is not progress.
You can actually be intimate with the universe.
What is style? It is an effortless confidence in being yourself, it is a way of putting yourself together according to your mood and what you want to project. Personal style appears to come naturally for some, but for others it can take a while to find it!
I was terrified the first time that I had a big problem in my business. I was obviously terrified when they diagnosed me with cancer in 1994. I was terrified when my son used to drive too fast. But I do believe in the fact that fear is not an option, so I always try to face it and not be afraid.
I’ve always liked wrinkles. When I was a young girl, I used to make lines on my face with my nails because I loved Jeanne Moreau. I always wanted to be older; I always added years to my life. For the longest time, if people thought I was older, I would take it as a compliment.
