I came to terms with not fitting in a long time ago. I never really fitted in. I don't want to fit in. And now people are buying into that.

More quotes by Alexander McQueen
If you ask any lady they want to be taller, they want to be slimmer, you know, and they want a waist. I'm not here to make people look like a sack of potatoes.
Alexander McQueen
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
Alexander McQueen
Menswear is about subtlety. It's about good style and good taste.
Alexander McQueen
I think there is beauty in everything. What 'normal' people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.
Alexander McQueen
When we put the antlers on the model and then draped over it the lace embroidery that we had made, we had to poke them through a £2,000 piece of work. But then it worked because it looks like she's rammed the piece of lace with her antlers. There's always spontaneity. You've got to allow for that in my shows.
Alexander McQueen
I find beauty in melancholy.
Alexander McQueen
I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.
Alexander McQueen
The reason I'm patriotic about Scotland is because I think it's been dealt a really hard hand. It's marketed the world over as . . . haggis . . . bagpipes. But no one ever puts anything back into it.
Alexander McQueen
You've got to know the rules to break them.
Alexander McQueen
I am a melancholy type of person.
Alexander McQueen
These beautiful models were walking around in the room, and then suddenly this woman who wouldn’t be considered beautiful was revealed. It was about trying to trap something that wasn’t conventionally beautiful to show that beauty comes from within.
Alexander McQueen
I've had good times I've had bad times.
Alexander McQueen
It is important to look at death because it is a part of life. It is a sad thing, melancholy but romantic at the same time. It is the end of a cycle - everything has to end. The cycle of life is positive because it gives room for new things.
Alexander McQueen
I was never a big networker, but I was a spin doctor, all those shock shows, that's how I got my first backers. But fashion's a scary industry to be in, especially if you've not grown up with it.
Alexander McQueen
I'm about what goes through people's minds. The stuff that people don't want to admit or face up to. The shows are about what's buried in people's psyches.
Alexander McQueen
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.
Alexander McQueen
You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don't need to do that any more.
Alexander McQueen
The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today
Alexander McQueen
I think sometimes I might scare the editors, because they might feel they're getting old and they're not understanding it. The problem lies on their side of the fence, not mine. I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era.
Alexander McQueen
You can only go forward by making mistakes.
