Don't reject a shoe because you can't run in it. It's OK not to run.

More quotes by Christian Louboutin
Fragrance is so intimate for a lot of women - it's your essence, your identity.
Christian Louboutin
A good pump is a silhouette, like the bone structure of the face. It's like a beautiful face with no make-up. You can cover a not-so-beautiful face with make-up, but it is just a mask - it is the same with shoes.
Christian Louboutin
I listen to my stomach. It tells me when I am starving.
Christian Louboutin
Breakfast is a peaceful moment for me, so I never have the radio on, no music, no noise around. The only noise that is permitted is people's voices. It's a way for me to wake up without too much of a high speed feeling.
Christian Louboutin
I never had a plan. I have to say, I'm very shocked when people start a company and say, 'In five years I want to launch a perfume, or in 10 years I want to have this.' How can you know?
Christian Louboutin
I wouldn't take it as a compliment if someone looked at one of my shoes and said, 'Oh, that looks like a comfortable shoe.' There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels.
Christian Louboutin
I would hate for someone to look at my shoes and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'
Christian Louboutin
'Comfy,' that's one of the worst words! I just picture a woman feeling bad, with a big bottle of alcohol, really puffy.
Christian Louboutin
The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to beauty what the shoes took from the nails many years ago.
Christian Louboutin
My father, who was a cabinetmaker, told me, 'Wood has a grain and if you go into the grain, you have beauty. If you go against it, you have splinters - it breaks.' And I took that as my view of life. You have to follow the grain - to be sensitive to the direction of life.
Christian Louboutin
I like Adele, Mika, Natacha Atlas and a beautiful old record, 'An Evening with Belafonte/Mouskouri,' starring Harry Belafonte and Nana Mouskouri. What they have in common is they all have incredible voices. I am very much into voices. I would say I'm a fan of voices, not of sound. I'm a fan of singers, not of bands.
Christian Louboutin
A lot of men said they were jealous of me because my shoes excite women in a way they can't.
Christian Louboutin
Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people.
Christian Louboutin
Designing is always on the mind of a designer, and as I was saying it's a sort of digestive process, so I usually keep it to myself unless I'm collaborating with someone because explaining all the things that are going on in your head can be quite exhausting, especially in the early stages of a project.
Christian Louboutin
I wanted to be a shoe designer, but I never thought it could be a profession. But what was the alternative? Doctor? Too dirty! Air-hostess? Maybe not! Then someone gave me a book on Roger Vivier, and, cheri, instantly I knew that was it!
Christian Louboutin
In France you cannot not have lunch. If you stopped the French from having lunch, you will have a second revolution, I can tell you this. Not going to work - it is part of the French privilege.
Christian Louboutin
The designer side of me has many ideas on how the shoes or woman should look, but the man is thinking 'would I want to see my girl in those shoes?'
Christian Louboutin
I sort of don't believe in trends. I know that they exist, but what is important at the end of the day is to remain independent
Christian Louboutin
I don't follow anything online. I am rather slow on that side.
Christian Louboutin
During breakfast there is something I cannot resist, apart from my boyfriend - it's actually the phone. I have a phone breakfast. Always. I call friends, boyfriend, family. Checking who is where. 'Is everything fine?' This is breakfast.
