Haven't you heard? I sleep every night in the deep freezer!
I think I asphyxiated my children.
As with most things in my life, I believe you should try to enjoy yourself and never feel like you are a slave to a routine.
I have long been a fan and enthusiast where art is concerned.
To be Catholic puts a lot of fear in you. It's a great religion, but also one that can limit your experience. You fear experience because everything is a sin.
I don't like my physique at all.
I was a fashion addict by the time I was 11 years old. I'd wear a miniskirt and patent-leather boots.
It would be very easy for us to do a collection that everybody would like and not criticize. But criticism is a part of life. You have to take it.
Elegance is always in style for men.
Alexander McQueen... The fashion world has not only lost an icon but we have also lost a very special friend.
I've learned how to appreciate what I have. And it's a lot. I'm very lucky.
My mother didn't want me to be in fashion. She was in the fashion business, so was my brother, and she thought it was too crazy for me. She wanted me to be married with children, to be independent, yes, but not to have a crazy life.
People are always surprised when they spend time with my children by how normal they are. They're polite. They're well mannered. They're very down to earth, in a way.
You can have small moments of happiness in life. You certainly can’t expect years and years of it.
