More quotes by 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
People want to know everything, and so they put you in the limelight. Sometimes, I am not down to earth, and I think I am flying away from the outer realms of reality.
Karl Lagerfeld
Think pink, but don't wear it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Because I stopped dieting already six months ago, and I think it's important to bring out a book like this and you are there a year later and say look, I'm still like this.
Karl Lagerfeld
Forgiveness is too easy. I can forget by indifference, but not forgive. I prefer revenge.
Karl Lagerfeld
You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur
Karl Lagerfeld
There will be gay couples it will exist. It is not very nice that people who are married - who divorce in three seconds - don’t want protection for the others. The legal system should protect everyone, not just the few people who think they are above everybody else because they are married.
Karl Lagerfeld
A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul
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
It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
Karl Lagerfeld
What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.
Karl Lagerfeld
People who can't be alone have a problem. Loneliness is a luxury for people like me.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
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
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 love dogs, but dogs, you have to be in the country with dogs. I cannot walk a dog on the street.
Karl Lagerfeld
My life is based on change. What I say is OK for the next ten minutes, then I change my mind.
Karl Lagerfeld
Success nullifies. You then have to do it again, preferably differently.
