Sometimes you never feel lonelier than when you are always doing tons of things and traveling all over the place. There is a real feeling of loneliness sometimes.

More quotes by Nicolas Ghesquiere
In French we have this word déclic. It's when you have, suddenly, a light shining and you say, This is what I want to do.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
You never do things thinking you will make a big statement. It just happens sometimes and you are lucky.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I grew up in such a small city, I had to be popular or I'd be dead. So I had to be popular!
Nicolas Ghesquiere
What I find most interesting in fashion is that it has to reflect our time. You have to witness your own moment.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
Fashion is a playground up until a certain age. But then you have to find your own signature and your own style.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
Strangely, meanness pays more than offering constructive and interesting commentary. Every season I think, This is the last season. I'm not gonna read tomorrow morning. Forget it. The first thing when I wake up - quite late, usually - I am craving the newspaper.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I don't feel French at all. That was never really a concern, and it's limiting to think that way. I think Paris is more of a playground for international designers, so I don't really feel French. And I don't really want to feel French.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
It's true that fashion is looking at fashion all the time, and this is quite boring.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
We live with a future where every three or four months, we have to question everything. You think you could be the best, or that you're nothing and you don't know what you're doing. It is exhausting.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I'm the kind of person who, even after a shoot that I've loved, is always moving on. There is no gap.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
Today, kids are much more aware of what fashion means, but when I was growing up, it was popular, but not as popular as today. Like any kid, I was fascinated by drawing. But when some of the kids let go, I kept drawing and drawing.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
With my designs and my ideas, I want to please myself first. I'm always very stressed about making a new proposition every season. But in a way, it's a kind of addiction. In another way, it's a crazy pressure. I try to stay quiet about the whole situation, because fashion itself can be crazy, and everyone wants a part of you.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
As designers, we do so much with material and construction. It's really architectural it comes close to building. A scent is so immaterial. It's really about emotion and sensation. Clothes are too, but it's not the same.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I've always been fascinated by people's capacity to care. Everyone has a different capacity for it. Some people can take on more and deal with more. Today, with the economy, I have such respect for the hard work that has to be done. But we're on this planet and we have a responsibility to ourselves to care.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
First, at a certain point, I wanted to have my own magazine, but I never could. Why? Because I am not commercial enough. The people who would have been able to give me my own magazine, they were not insulting me, but they would simply say, It wouldn't work for you. And that was a big disappointment to me.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I think when a time comes, a change comes, and you have to recognize the change but also believe in yourself.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I like the idea of women and men in movement. My fashion is not about being still. It's almost sporty, sometimes. I like the evolution of sports clothes. I think they are very interesting in the cut, in the fabrics.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I remember Grace (Coddington) looking at me and said, 'Can you do something?' and I was like, 'OK, how long do you give me?' and she said 'Half an hour?', I said 'Forty-five minutes?'
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I do love science-fiction and horror movies.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I don't know if that's new, but it has become very official over the past 25 or 30 years - and today it's probably at its most extreme point, where sometimes collections look more like a stylist's work than a designer's signature.
