Karl Lagerfeld
The French say you get hungry when you’re eating, and I get inspired when I’m working. It’s my engine.
Karl Lagerfeld
A sense of humour and a little lack of respect: That's what you need to make a legend survive.
Karl Lagerfeld
You cannot fight against it. There's a price you have to pay for fame, and people who don't want to pay that price can get in trouble. I accepted the idea of celebrity because of a French expression: 'You cannot have the butter and the money for the butter.'
Karl Lagerfeld
Fashion is about two things: the evolution and the opposite.
Karl Lagerfeld
There are so many third-rate people now who are more famous than people who should be famous, but sometimes people who could or should be famous are very boring, too.
Karl Lagerfeld
They're my burka... I'm a little shortsighted, and people, when they're shortsighted, they remove their glasses and then they look like cute little dogs who want to be adopted.
