Don't you loathe the word workaholic? It has nothing to do with an important thing, that you and your secretary are at the office until 6:30. But that's life, kiddo. 24-hour work doesn't go on in America. 24-hour work is what Italy and Holland did after the war. The lights never went out!

You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got? I mean if you love someone you can love them as much as you can love them but if it isn’t a passion, it isn’t burning, it isn’t on fire, you haven’t lived.

Chutney is marvelous. I'm mad about it. To me, it's very imperial.

Balenciaga was incredibleI was madly infatuated with his clothes. His clothes were devastating. One fainted. One simply blew up and died.

When fashion turns over it brings in little tiny creaks and cracks. This is the fascination and that is where you have to watch every step.

I sincerely believe that energy grows from itself and the more energy you expand the more you create within yourself.
