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. They catch something unintended, on the wing... they get that thing. It's the revelation of personality.

I've always had such wonderful opportunities, but I never made the effort, haven't put on the pressure. But I never took them.

Too much good taste can be very boring. Independent style, on the other hand, can be very inspiring.

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

Where would fashion be without literature?

Why don't you have a room done up in every color green? This will take months, years, to collect, but it will be delightful-a melange of plants, green glass, green porcelains, and furniture covered in sad greens, gay greens, clear, faded, and poison greens?

A lie to get out of something, or take an advantage for oneself, that’s one thing but a lie to make life more interesting—well, that’s entirely different.

Don't look back. Just go ahead. Give ideas away. Under every idea there's a new idea waiting to be born.

Style all who have it have have one thing: originality.

I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity.

I think i always had a perfectly clear view of what was possible for the public. Give'em what they never knew they wanted.

The personality is a work of art.

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.

You're not supposed to give people what they want, you're supposed to give them what they don't know that they want yet.

The best time to leave a party is when the party’s just beginning. There’s no drink that kills except the drink that you didn’t want to take, as the saying goes, and there’s no hour that kills except the hour you stayed after you wanted to go home.

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. About the best red is to copy the color of a child’s cap in any Renaissance portrait.

The only real elegance is in the mind if you've got that, the rest really comes from it.

Fashion must be the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.

A funny person is funny only for so long, but a wit can sit down and go on being spellbinding forever. One is not meant to laugh. One stays quiet and marvels. Spontaneously witty talk is without question the most fascinating entertainment there is.
