Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people... the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life... they are mean and they want to kill you.

I can't wait for the iPhone 6. It's my only ambition in life to have it quickly.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there's no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.

My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn't dare do themselves.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
If I read too much or know too much it's not because I want to talk about it, it's only because it's interesting for me.

Image
I have one instinct stronger than any other thing in life, and that is the instinct for survival.

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