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.

More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.
Karl Lagerfeld
I've survived quite a few generations. That's because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.
Karl Lagerfeld
I like to do things quickly because I'm easily bored.
Karl Lagerfeld
If you stick to something doggedly, you are off to a bad start.
Karl Lagerfeld
I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.
Karl Lagerfeld
When I was a child, I never played with other children. I hated them.
Karl Lagerfeld
Oh yes, I love to do shoes. I'm not a fetishist but I love to do shoes.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm rather pro-prostitution, I admire people who do it. It can't be much fun. Thank goodness for it. People need relief or they become murderers.
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
I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was.
Karl Lagerfeld
Youthfulness is about how you live not when you were born.
Karl Lagerfeld
A sense of humour and a little lack of respect: That's what you need to make a legend survive.
Karl Lagerfeld
In France there are, I think, less than one per cent of people who are too skinny.
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
It would have been difficult to have an ugly daughter.
Karl Lagerfeld
You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur
Karl Lagerfeld
Don't use your film for ugly purpose.
Karl Lagerfeld
People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that's the secret to doing things well.
Karl Lagerfeld
When people want to be liked for what they did, they should stop.
Karl Lagerfeld
