No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important.
I can hardly eat meat because it has to look like something what it was not when it was alive.
If I were a woman, I would love to have lots of kids. But for men, I don't believe in it.
There are so many third-rate people now who are more famous than people who should be famous, but sometimes people who could or should be famous are very boring, too.
I always think I'm lazy, maybe I could do better, I could make more effort and I always have the feeling that there is a glass wall that I cannot get through. But maybe when I get through, then it's over.
I have one instinct stronger than any other thing in life, and that is the instinct for survival.
I have no scene, I go everywhere, I adapt
I sketch in a way that people can nearly do the dresses without me coming in for a fitting. Every single detail, every proportion, every cut -- everything.
Normally, I don't recommend me for wedding dresses – they all get a divorce.
Only the minute and the future are interesting in fashion -- it exists to be destroyed. If everybody did everything with respect, you'd go nowhere.
Everything I say is a joke. I am a joke myself.
We live in the world of images, but we also live in the world of the Internet, of zapping and where people move. You can make little videos on your phone. I love very composed images, but the idea of moving pictures with a story, with a plot is quite interesting, too.
I am very boring, but it has allowed me to survive better than other people. If you don't drink, you don't smoke, and you don't do drugs, and you're not missing it and never even wanted it, and you sleep for seven hours. I tell you, life is quite pleasant.
Beauty with character ages better than perfection
