I have been skiing since I was in school, but I'm not great. I am never going to break an Olympic record, I just want to go down the hills, on red or blue runs, but not... black.

More quotes by Alexander McQueen
For a long time I was looking for my perfect equilibrium, my mojo. And now I think I'm getting there: I've found my customer, my silhouette, my cut.
Alexander McQueen
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.
Alexander McQueen
You find a lot of ideas from my shows in adverts now. I find it a compliment.
Alexander McQueen
Some designers are so airy-fairy people can't connect with them. I hope people can relate to me, to a normal person who just happens to be a fashion designer, that people can take me as they find me. It's not the designer's job to care about what people think. Whatever else I've done, I've never tried to be something that I'm not.
Alexander McQueen
Rap music's been around for too long now to be inspirational. The words are, but the music isn't.
Alexander McQueen
I don’t want to do a cocktail party. I’d rather people left my shows and vomited.
Alexander McQueen
I like the idea of infiltrating an area that is not really exposed to me or my work.
Alexander McQueen
There's beauty in anger, and anger for me is a passion.
Alexander McQueen
As a designer, you've always got to push yourself forward you've always got to keep up with the trends or make your own trends. That's what I do.
Alexander McQueen
You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.
Alexander McQueen
You can only go forward by making mistakes. I'm twenty-seven, not fifty-seven. I'm not Givenchy, I'm Alexander McQueen.
Alexander McQueen
I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.
Alexander McQueen
I think there is beauty in everything.
Alexander McQueen
There is no better designer than nature
Alexander McQueen
If you're lucky enough to use something you see in a dream, it is purely original. It's not in the world - it's in your head. I think that is amazing.
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 am a melancholy type of person.
Alexander McQueen
Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.
Alexander McQueen
When a woman gets dressed up to go out at night, she wants to give 50% away, and hold the rest back. If you're an open book, there's no allure.
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.
