More quotes by Iris Apfel

Iris Apfel
More is more and less is a bore.

Iris Apfel
Caviar used to be my drug of choice, but since my husband is on a no-salt diet, I've kind of given it up. I still have dreams of sitting down and gorging, though. I love it with a good vodka I don't like it with champagne.
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.
Iris Apfel
The world is always full of promise.
Iris Apfel
I'm making a lot of noise as I walk.
Iris Apfel
If you hair is done properly and you're wearing good shoes, you can get anyway with anything.
Iris Apfel
I never just went to look for clothes and style I always find that wherever I go.
Iris Apfel
To lead the good life in New York, the two most important things for a woman are a chauffeur and a fur-lined raincoat. If you have those two things, you’re made.
