More quotes by Alexander McQueen
Sting's my ideal man, because he's a real man.
Alexander McQueen
I believe in that one-on-one sell. I don't really believe in flooding the market with loads of goods that don't mean much, and you lose your identity.
Alexander McQueen
The turnover of fashion is just so quick and so throwaway, and I think that is a big part of the problem. There is no longevity.
Alexander McQueen

I'm 40 now, but I want this to be a company that lives way beyond me, and I believe that customers are more important to making that happen than press. When I'm dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship. Hopping up and down above earth.
Alexander McQueen
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.
Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen
I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.
Alexander McQueen
There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.
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
I'm prepared to forget about money if it affects my creativity because, remember, I started off with nothing. And I can do that again.
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'm mad in the front of my mind, but business-minded in the back.
Alexander McQueen
