People who eat white bread have no dreams.

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.

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!

I think part of my success as an editor came from never worrying about a fact, a cause, an atmosphere. It was me—projecting to the public. That was my job. I think I always had a perfectly clear view of what was possible for the public. Give ‘em what they never knew they wanted.

I adore artifice. I always have.

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 think allure is something around you, like a perfume or like a scent. It's like a memory ... it pervades.

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?

Before even the technique, there is a dream. Chanel had it. The dream is everything.
