funny
Writing is a funny thing. It's not like you're working on a schedule. It comes in fits and starts.
jobs real ideas
I really don't understand the idea of a celebrity stylist. Is it a real job? I know there's unemployment, but frankly the railways need to be fixed, too.
fun mean piano
I play piano and I sing. But I do that for fun. I mean, I do everything for fun.
perfect use body
Holding a note is a very difficult thing - you have to use your whole body to achieve a perfect pitch.
humans human-beings
Human beings all mimic each other.
thinking work-out dresses
I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.
taken journey years
Fragrance takes you on a journey of time. You can walk down the street and pass someone and get taken back 20 years. It's very Proustian that way.
beautiful thinking color
I think it's beautiful to be able to cover yourself in metal. I love the color and the way it reflects. But it is also a protection.
being-yourself believe marketing
Everyone wants to get behind the red rope, but actually: be yourself, don't believe what you see, don't believe all this marketing.
dream
I don't tell anybody else what to wear. I would never dream of it.
past thinking government
We need a government, not politics. Because there's too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization.
book gossip tvs
I never read gossip press. I just read books. And I never switch on the TV anymore.
children hate ideas
I hate the idea of making any of my children into a mini-me. That would be terrible.
memories hands trying
Memories are like mercury. Every time you sort of try to get near them, they slip out of your hand like a bar of soap.
