I like putting on a suit. I like putting on a tie.
Tom Ford
Image
I don't wear a lot of color. In fact, I don't actually like color on myself. I love color but it's very challenging, it's very powerful, it can overpower you. I think if my eyes were closed and someone put a red jacket on me, I would be able to feel that it was red. I don't feel great in color.

I love to design. I am a commercial fashion designer. I always design jackets with two sleeves. I don't design jackets with three sleeves, or the layers and layers come off like little dolls from Russia. Fashion for me is a creative endeavor, but it is not art for me.

I am one of those people who isn’t great at anything, but I’m pretty good at most things.

Image
Moving fashion used to be one of my chief goals. It's not necessarily any more. Fashion needs to change when life changes. You only need to move fashion forward when there's a reason to move fashion forward.

I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.

It was like one of those dreams at high school when everyone else has clothes on except you.

I am not a person who is about reality. I am about enhanced reality.

I am actually extremely casual in certain environments. But one of the reasons I like living in London, I like the formality of it, as compared to the formality of America - or informality. I like putting on a suit. I like putting on a tie.

It's really never fair to judge people because none of us know what's going on inside anyone else's head.

My grandmother was probably the first person who I thought was beautiful. She was incredibly stylish, she had big hair, big cars. I was probably 3 years old, but she was like a cartoon character. She'd swoop into our lives with presents and boxes, and she always smelled great and looked great.

Oh my God, so many young girls now look like whores!

My real life’s not like the fantasy Tom Ford world – with naked girls pouring perfume everywhere. It’s more staying in and watching Friends on television.

To me, beauty and sadness are very closely linked. Truly beautiful things make me sad because I know they are going to fade. When I see a beautiful 20-year-old boy or girl-and they are breathtaking-I am filled with a kind of sadness. But maybe they are beautiful because we know they are not permanent and they are in a kind of transition.

My goal is to help women to become the best version of themselves.

A film should be somewhat personal. I think that whatever you create you have to be true to yourself and create something that feels right to you.

We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?

France? I don't want to be anti-French but there isn't a more unattractive group of people on the streets.

I'm living the exact life I planned on living when I was five.

You should put on the best version of yourself when you go out in the world because that is a show of respect to the other people around you.
