What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.
I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18, so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first.
I'm surrounded by young and beautiful people. I hate looking at ugliness.
Fashion is ephemeral, dangerous and unfair.
It would have been difficult to have an ugly daughter.
I'm rather pro-prostitution, I admire people who do it. It can't be much fun. Thank goodness for it. People need relief or they become murderers.

If you throw money out of the window throw it out with joy. Don’t say: 'one shouldn't do that' - that is bourgeois.
Forgiveness isn’t something I’m preoccupied with — turning the other cheek isn’t my trip.

I'm very severe with myself and sometimes I miss French cheese, but in your world it's not exactly the same thing.
There are less than 1 per cent of anorexic girls, but there more than 30 per cent of girls in France - I don't know about England - that are much, much overweight. And it is much more dangerous and very bad for the health.
It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things.
