More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
Stuff your brain with knowledge.
Karl Lagerfeld
I only know how to play one role: me.
Karl Lagerfeld
Forgiveness is too easy. I can forget by indifference, but not forgive. I prefer revenge.
Karl Lagerfeld
I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work.
Karl Lagerfeld
What is the worst is a fashion designer who talks all the time of his or her creativity, what they are, how they evolved. Just do it and shut up.
Karl Lagerfeld
I think tattoos are horrible. It's like living in a Pucci dress full-time.
Karl Lagerfeld
Chic is a kind of mayonnaise, either it tastes, or it doesn't.
Karl Lagerfeld
Clothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It's a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.
Karl Lagerfeld
Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.
Karl Lagerfeld
The flat shoe makes the woman equal of men. When they have high [shoes], they play a part like a geisha, and they can't be expected to be taken that seriously.
Karl Lagerfeld
People who can't be alone have a problem. Loneliness is a luxury for people like me.
Karl Lagerfeld
No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.
Karl Lagerfeld
I am not a second option person. It is that or nothing. If it is not the way I see it I prefer not to see it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Buy clothes the size you want to wear.
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
My childhood was endless - from eight to 18 felt like hundreds of years.
Karl Lagerfeld
I have one instinct stronger than any other thing in life, and that is the instinct for survival.
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
Personally, I don't wear fur.
Karl Lagerfeld
