More quotes by Manolo Blahnik
I am not a movie star or a football player, I just do my thing.
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.

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 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.
Manolo Blahnik
These are very dainty and superrefined, but really vile.

Manolo Blahnik
It's the only thing I really enjoy - so fresh, even now that I'm doing the new sampling. I'm dying to go to the factory, which is like nobody's idea of fun. But it's mine.
Manolo Blahnik
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
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.
Manolo Blahnik
I don't like very young women very much. Never did.
Manolo Blahnik
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 don't even know Amanda Seyfried or whatever - they're all the same!

A lot of things trigger my inspiration. It can be the most banal things.
