I’m a pretty calm person. That came from living in Italy for a long time. Nothing works, nothing is on time. You have to learn to deal with it.
My grandmother was probably the first person who I thought was beautiful. She was incredibly stylish, she had big hair, big cars. I was probably 3 years old, but she was like a cartoon character. She’d swoop into our lives with presents and boxes, and she always smelled great and looked great.
I am one of those people who isn’t great at anything, but I’m pretty good at most things.
I’m a perfectionist, to the point of insanity.
The seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love.
In another life I would love to be a cosmetic surgeon because it’s architectural. You know, you are trying to figure out where the seams go. Can I do it in one piece like Halston? Can you formaldehyde DNA?
It’s really about putting that sort of quality and beauty back into our life.
My goal is to help women to become the best version of themselves.
I don’t work for money any longer. I work for pride.
You know that only thing that has made the whole thing worthwhile has been those few times that I was able to truly connect with another person.
When I come home I actually take off all my clothes, and I wear no clothes until I leave. I eat naked. I do everything completely naked.
There aren’t many strong or charismatic candidates today, because many people can’t withstand the scrutiny.
I think that monogamy is artificial. I do not think it’s something that comes naturally to us.
College campuses were once a hotbed of political activity.
From the time we’re born until we die, we’re kept busy with artificial stuff that isn’t important.
If I were straight and I were trying to seduce a woman, I could do it just by standing up at the table when she came back from the bathroom. It works. Every time I do that, all the straight men are sitting at the table and their wives are kicking them. “Look at that!” “You never do that for me!”
I don’t believe that clothes can start a revolution, but I do believe that fashion is often a manifestation of a sociological or political climate.
France? I don’t want to be anti-French but there isn’t a more unattractive group of people on the streets.
I try to be nice, I try to respect other people, but over the years I’ve learned that all this stuff we do is a bunch of crap. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its place. We are living in a material world, so why not live with something beautiful?
