There are too many 50-year-olds dressing as 20-year-olds.
hate noise walks
I hate mules. I hate the noise when someone walks with mules. Clomp, clomp, clomp. I think it's very not chic. I don't even like a flip-flop. I don't like this noise.
dark love vision work
If Caravaggio was a photographer today, I would love to work with him. I love his dark vision - I have a dark vision.
bit interested keeps maybe people rock roll stay
When you get older, you have to stay a bit rock n' roll so that young people will still be interested in you. The way you move, the way you talk, maybe the way you have your hair in your face a little bit - this keeps you interesting.
kids
When you have a magazine like 'Vogue,' you know a lot of kids are going to follow your pictures.
speak
To see yourself on the big screen, you're big, you hate your voice, your vocabulary. You say the same words, you speak bad.
call maybe
The reason I call my book 'Irreverent' is because there were a lot of pictures that were very irreverent. Maybe I could call my book 'Forgiving' because maybe I made a lot of errors, too.
good surrounded
I keep my old friends, and get older with them, but push young. It's good to be surrounded by kids, because they keep you young.
family ten
I made a big family when I was working at 'Vogue' for ten years, and I'm still friends with a lot of them.
front good lens
It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
french welcomed york
When I left French 'Vogue,' New York welcomed me with a big, big hug.
future hope love pregnancy
Pregnancy is something that I always love. It's about hope and the future and a new baby.
hello karl leather looks rings room tough
Karl Lagerfeld looks very tough because of the glasses, and he has all these rings and the leather gloves, and he's so smart. But he's a very nice person... when he comes into a room or studio, he is going to say hello to each person, and the same when he leaves.
life people
When you give a lot of confidence in people and you don't get it back, you are a bit disappointed, but it's life.
