You know, I don't ask myself too much how. I just do it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection.
Karl Lagerfeld
As a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything - not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion.
Karl Lagerfeld
I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.

Don’t wear what you question, wear what you think is right for you.

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
Elegance has nothing to do with fashion.
Karl Lagerfeld
The advantage of Fashion is that there is no racism
Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld
Fortunately there is more wealth in the world than there was at the time of the global economic crisis of 1929 - Chinese, Indian, Arab and Russian.
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 never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
Karl Lagerfeld
Youthfulness is about how you live not when you were born.
Karl Lagerfeld
The best way to know people is to work with them.
Karl Lagerfeld
People who say that yesterday was better than today are ultimately devaluing their own existence.
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.
