But if I have a lot of imagination, I could tell myself whatever I wanted, you know. I handle myself quite well. I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know. There's no discussion. There is an order. You follow it.

More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
You have to like the present if not your life becomes secondhand, if you think it was better before. Or that it will be better in the future.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm not a marketing person. I don't ask myself questions. I go by instinct.
Karl Lagerfeld
Only the minute and the future are interesting in fashion -- it exists to be destroyed. If everybody did everything with respect, you'd go nowhere.
Karl Lagerfeld
Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection.
Karl Lagerfeld
I see things in the middle of the night. I draw them on paper and I don't even think about it. I'm like a machine in a way - just made of some electronic stuff. Vaguely digital.
Karl Lagerfeld
I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work.
Karl Lagerfeld
When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.
Karl Lagerfeld
Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.
Karl Lagerfeld
For me, Chanel is like music. There are certain notes and you have to make another tune with them.
Karl Lagerfeld
No, I'm not a French designer either. I'm from nowhere. I'm a European, old European is all I am.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.
Karl Lagerfeld
I am a black diamond, unfaceted. Black diamonds are rare, hard to cut, and therefore uncommercial.
Karl Lagerfeld
There's something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living...
Karl Lagerfeld
I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.
Karl Lagerfeld
No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things.
Karl Lagerfeld
Those social networks, there's something sad about them. Is it because they don't have enough knowledge about friends and people? I don't understand it. It's like a talkative mirror where people talk to themselves. And what I hate most in life is selfies.
Karl Lagerfeld
We built everything - toilets included. I think those islands in the middle of nowhere are quite poetic. It's kind of an Oriental Atlantis.
Karl Lagerfeld
Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight.
Karl Lagerfeld
I like the present and tomorrow
Karl Lagerfeld
You know, I don't ask myself too much how. I just do it.
