My relationship with religion is very strong because it was my hope, and it gave me two things very important in my life. It gave me the belief and it gave me a point to reach: Don't do something bad to the people next to you.

More quotes by Riccardo Tisci
I hate vulgarity. I hate vulgarity even though it attracts me - and it attracts me very much. I love all that is transgressive or vulgar. But in my opinion, it has to reach a limit that is always a little surreal and never becomes in your face.
Riccardo Tisci
I didn't know I was going to become a designer I was going to become a successful person, but I really wanted to be free.
Riccardo Tisci
My obsession when I was kid, from '85 into the '90s, was Gianni Versace. It was Helmut Lang. It was Margiela. So I said, I cannot have Givenchy only as a luxury house I'm going to introduce products for everybody, things that are reachable.
Riccardo Tisci
The elegance of the Italian South is a very strong elegance and it is one that I bring. It is a sexy elegance - or at least, let's say less chaste.
Riccardo Tisci
Couture is emotion. Couture is freedom. Couture is not thinking about pricing and not thinking about craziness. You can do whatever you want to do in couture.
Riccardo Tisci
I arrived here, with a destroyed house, with nothing. I had to do everything very slowly. And with a little team and a great president, we achieved a lot. I am happy here. For now, it is still Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, and I think that it will be for a long time, because it will be difficult to evict me from my house. I feel good here!
Riccardo Tisci
My luck has always been how I've had a family of women around me, and I have women who are very close to me - for example, Mariacarla Boscono, Carine Roitfeld, Marina Abramovic. I have different women whom I adore and value.
Riccardo Tisci
I love finding new things. I love the conceptual aspect of Antony Hegarty or the voices of those back in the day like Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott, Ciara. I love what evokes emotion in me.
Riccardo Tisci
I didn't want to dress anyone in the beginning, no celebrities. Then, very slowly I started with one, two, like that. There are some celebrities whom we dress because they are part of the family. They are women I admire. I don't care how famous she is, if she is at the movies or in a concert.
Riccardo Tisci
My truth is this: That I don't know what will happen tomorrow because you can never know.
Riccardo Tisci
If I am in fashion, it is really due to very few designers that I admire - not because I don't like the rest, or that the rest are not beautiful, but because I am very selective. I adore Versace. I adore Helmut Lang, despite the fact that it's over.
Riccardo Tisci
I think my heart is in a very good place. And I think this is why I'm achieving what I've been asking to do in the universe for so long.
Riccardo Tisci
Sex is something I live very well, but it is something I revealed very slowly in my fashion. What I do is emotional. For me, there is a base, which is my Italian roots. It's a strong passion for fashion, a passion for sensuality and dressing for one's self.
Riccardo Tisci
When I started, everyone said couture was finished and I was so scared. Actually I was more terrorized than scared. I was arriving from a provincial area of Italy. They called me in to do Givenchy and I just thought, Wow.
Riccardo Tisci
I was lucky. From the time I was a little, I was always surrounded by women, and I am very attracted to the feminine world, because I love the strength and romanticism, which in the end, you can find in my style.
Riccardo Tisci
When I was far away, when I prayed every night, I felt I was very near with my heart, with my brain, to my sisters and my mom.
Riccardo Tisci
I listen to certain opinions because those are important to me. I am a Leo, so I very much have my feet on the ground, and I know what I want, but there is also a side of me which is a little softer, still a little bit of a boy who has not grown up and who listens a lot.
Riccardo Tisci
I'm very well off but I can stay with normal people. I can do a super-luxury life, but I can do a very normal life and I'm not scared.
Riccardo Tisci
I love art and music more than I love fashion, to be honest.
Riccardo Tisci
I always think about the streets because that's where I come from and that's where I'm going to die one day. That is my life.
Riccardo Tisci
