long people style
You can't just say, "I'm gonna have style." You have to work at it. It's intuitive; some people have it, and some people can work on it all day long, and it will never happen.
people style amount
I can't tell people how to have style. No amount of money can buy you style. It's just instinctive.
style trying
You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style.
clothes style looks
I never just went to look for clothes and style; I always find that wherever I go.
attitude style
Style is attitude, attitude, attitude!
fashion style
Fashion you can BUY, but style you POSSESS.
style matter not-pretty
You're not pretty, and you'll never be pretty. But, it doesn't matter. You have something much better. You have style.
people
I always tell people I'm very large in Uzbekistan.
ladies
Fashion has this youth mania. But 70-year-old ladies don't have 18-year-old bodies, and 18-year-olds don't have a 70-year-old's dollars.
art properly
Clothes are not frippery. Properly done, they can be an art form.
life
Being well-dressed is a wonderful thing, but I don't think it should be life threatening.
ashamed believe chanel nice trying
Coco Chanel once said that what makes a woman look old is trying desperately to look young. Why should one be ashamed to be 84? Why do you have to say that you're 52? Nobody's going to believe you anyway, so why be such a fool? It's nice that you got to be so old. It's a blessing.
although mentioned million people somebody
Technologically, I live in the 17th century; I don't have a computer, I don't have any of that stuff. I don't look at the Internet, although I know people tell me I'm all over it. Somebody told me they Googled me, and they said I was mentioned two million times, some stupid thing... but who cares?
bad era good lots shades
The world is not black and white; there are lots of shades of grey. There are good things and bad things in every era, and I think it's kind of very blindfolded to say one era was wonderful, as it was wonderful, but there were a lot of bad things as well.
