I've never been tempted to do these hideous furniture shoes.

You get two weeks after you do a shoe where you can test whether it's good or not - if you're going to like it in 20 years. Then I know that it's going to be my shoe for a long time. That doesn't happen very often, but it happens.

I don't even know Amanda Seyfried or whatever - they're all the same!

I didn't need it [formal training], because I've got the best taste in the world.

Image
I'm totally twisted. Instead of, Oh god, I don't have platforms - they won't like me, I was much more, I'm doing what I'm doing, and if you don't want to buy it, then don't buy, but that's just what I'm gonna do. It gave me strength. It worked for me.

I love exaggerated, and I love eccentric, but you must be comfortable. Otherwise it is nonsense. There is nothing charming about a woman who cannot walk in her shoes.

I don't know why my shoes are so popular - I am always surprised and mystified by it.

I always love China, especially the old China.

Men tell me that I've saved their marriages. It costs them a fortune in shoes, but it's cheaper than a divorce. So I'm still useful, you see.

What is fashion? It's discipline. Discipline and a credo to do only the best, down to the smallest detail.

It's the only thing I get inspired by! I get inspired by dreams. Who cares about the rest?

When I was a boy I remember the women, how they dressed, how they behaved, what was important to them at the time. Like Lee Marvin and Gloria Grahame in The Big Heat.

I'm loyal to my thoughts, to my friends. This is what I really like the best. Loyalty. Sounds goody-goody. Maybe that's not the one you wanted.

I don't even think about the word. But I do have certain things where I just go, Aaaaahhh, irritatingly boring and insistent because I want it to look that way and I can do it - I don't even know if you'd call it passion or obsession. Obsession, possibly, but I really love what I do.

I'm loyal to my friends, but I have so few now.I force myself to see people when they're here. Or when I'm here. I don't live in England that much now in the sense that I spend time in factories. I'm such a factory man now. This is really what I enjoy doing.

It was so interesting that the girls were moving in such a different way.

I saw these girls like Sherilyn Fenn and Lara Flynn Boyle that should be working now instead of these anonymous girls. They're all the same.

I wish I was making shoes instead of reading or watching movies, which is what I do in my free time.

I adore Jean-Louis Trintignant - even at 100 years old he's fabulous.
