I don't like Botox. It makes a very strange forehead.
love
I am Parisian. I don't love the French.
age learning terrifying
I am from the age of magazines, so the Internet is terrifying to me. But I am learning.
people
Fashion isn't something you can buy; you need to have the sense of it, and most people don't.
enjoy life
As you get older, you see life is very short, so you have to appreciate more and more and to enjoy it.
good
I think it's good to have surprises in fashion because we always see the same things.
curvy far love marilyn maybe women
I love curvy women. Maybe because I'm not. I would love to be a Marilyn Monroe, but I'm very far away from that... So I love very curvy girls.
art beauty
I have a lot to say about fashion - not just about fashion, but beauty, art.
becoming brought cycle forgot life love nature seeing
Becoming a grandmother brought me back to the things I forgot to love. Nature. Playing. Seeing animals. A new way of looking. A rejuvenation. A cycle of life - things come back to you. The details.
When I was young, no one got married. Now, all the young people, they want to get married, they want security. Now that my children's friends are getting married, I go to more weddings than I ever did when I was young.

I'm not a business girl. I will never be a business girl, but I will say, for Anna Wintour, that I respect successful people; I like things that are success.

When Tom Ford asked me to consult for Gucci, I had never consulted in my life. I didn't know what consulting was, and look, we made something amazing.
black daily great hair help innocence inside life maybe might others people preserve protects thankfully
People might think I'm very hard, what with my black make-up, my hair over my eyes, etc. My innocence didn't always help me, but it did preserve something in me that maybe others don't have anymore. I'm inside my bubble, you could say, and thankfully so, because I don't think daily life is always great. It protects me.
black jeans knew looked saw special steve style turtleneck
Look at someone like Steve Jobs. His look wasn't very special - black turtleneck and jeans - but he had style. He looked the same, and you knew it was him when you saw him. Plus, he was a very smart person, which is also very attractive. His style was simple, not distracting, and very strong.
