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.
Manolo Blahnik
I do think one should have clean feet.

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.

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

Really, the '70s and '80s were a blur.

It was a different social structure. I'd go to [David] Bailey's for dinner at 10:30. There were always girls there and a house full of . . . I don't know, anybody. Cecil Beaton, Diana Cooper . . . And there I am sitting down with these creatures of the 20th century, and it was normal to us.

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.
Manolo Blahnik
Shoes are the quickest way for women to achieve instant metamorphosis.

I'd been to Saint Petersburg before, but there's been a change in people's minds. Maybe it's a fashionable thing, but people have returned to the churches. I went to a Russian Orthodox and a Catholic church - both of the queues, enormous!
Manolo Blahnik
I am not a movie star or a football player, I just do my thing.
Manolo Blahnik
I forget about the diseases that I have. I don't want to know.
Manolo Blahnik
Passion is passion. It's a sort of madness and possession of what you do or what you think. This is the difference of life: passion and commerce, which most of the people know as P.C. But people have just got C now instead of P.
Manolo Blahnik
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 thought Victoria Beckham was going to be one of those pop girls, but she's absolutely the complete opposite. She's a working girl. She knows what she wants. And when she doesn't know, she really prepares herself. I love this working type of women. And she's a girl from - I don't even know where she's from.
Manolo Blahnik
