Of course I was always mad about the ballet russe, mad about it!

All people are meant to be creative in a certain way. What way? Perhaps I was cut out to be a wonderful housewife, with a marvelous sense of cooking, being with my friends, running a perfect house. But I am not ambitious towards anything.

Image
Don't look left nor right and never compete. Never. Watching the other guy is what kills all forms of energy.

Image
It’s not about the dress you wear, but it’s about the life you lead in the dress.
Diana Vreeland

Within every girl is the possibility of arousing emotion. Without emotion there is no beauty.

All my life I’ve pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to mix it for me. It’s exactly as if I’d said, ‘I want rococo with a spot of Gothic in it and a bit of Buddhist temple’—they have no idea what I’m talking about.

A good photograph was never what I was looking for. I like to have a point. I had to have a point or I didn't have a picture. This is what I've always found so fascinating about paparazzi pictures.
