More quotes by Iris Apfel
I don't believe in rules. It's different for everybody. Everyone has to make their own decision and find out what's comfortable for them.

I think that if you have to work very hard at dressing up and it makes you nervous or uptight, then you won't look very well because you won't be comfortable. I think it's much better to be comfortable and happy than well dressed.

I think fashion today is horrible. Just open your eyes and look! What's good about it? There's no originality. Here and there, there is, but in general, en masse, there's very little creativity and very little originality. It's kind of boring. Everybody looks alike. Everybody seems to strive to look alike.
Iris Apfel
I'm delighted that gay people now want to get married and I say why not! It's nobody's business and I would happily give my blessing.
Iris Apfel

I had to be my own person and live my own life if I wanted to be happy, and I just did it.
Iris Apfel
There are so many empty headed people in the fashion business who take themselves way too seriously and I don't think I am at all like one of them. To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!
Iris Apfel
I think if women put some more of the time and money they put on their heads in their heads, they’d be better off.
Iris Apfel
More is more and less is a bore.
