More quotes by Manolo Blahnik
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.

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 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.

These are very dainty and superrefined, but really vile.
Manolo Blahnik
I wish I was making shoes instead of reading or watching movies, which is what I do in my free time.
Manolo Blahnik
Maintenance is terribly important.
Manolo Blahnik
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 am not a movie star or a football player, I just do my thing.
Manolo Blahnik
The only people that come to my mind in the last years are Lee McQueen and John Galliano. Truly, truly . . . How do I say? Full of ideas. Full of the smell. They just had this incredible passion for what they did.
Manolo Blahnik
I didn't need it [formal training], because I've got the best taste in the world.
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.

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.
Manolo Blahnik
I'm going to do what I do, even more exaggerated. This is my attitude always. I don't betray myself at all.
Manolo Blahnik
I never wanted to be the most famous, the most beautiful, the most extravagant.
Manolo Blahnik
It's the only thing I get inspired by! I get inspired by dreams. Who cares about the rest?
