Even though I love fashion, I prefer people to fashion. Fashion is to make the person comfortable in her body, its not something very serious, you get to play.

It’s funny, everything is so much easier when you do it yourself.

Maybe people have no idea how much work is behind a picture. It can seem very effortless but there is a lot of work. It’s exactly like doing ballet. It’s hours and hours but when you go onstage it’s just the pleasure of dancing.

When you have the baby, there is no BlackBerry, no computer you just have the baby on your stomach, and your heart is beating the same time as the baby's. It's very nice.
Carine Roitfeld
I am not a good professional of fashion. I am not an expert about how clothes are constructed or the history of fashion. I never start with fashion. I always think of the girl and her personality - because all that matters to me when you look at a page is, Do you want to be that girl?

People always say, 'You look like Iggy Pop.'

I think it's good that [my granddaughter] here because I lost my parents and now it's great that there's a new generation. And she's taught me new things that I've forgotten. Like, when you're on holiday and see what it's like to see a shell or go into the water for the first time.

I don't have problems with my weight, I don't change weight but I think when you're gaining in age your position has to be beautiful.

A magazine is not just one person. And a fashion shoot is the same!
Carine Roitfeld
I think, in many ways, certain people sought me out maybe because they liked my body language or they liked the way I wore a slit skirt, the way I cross my legs or carry my purse. It's quite inspiring to play the seduction card.

I love black lingerie and white shoes, and I love knives.
