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.

Real fashion change comes from real changes in real life. Everything else is just decoration.
Tom Ford

A film, since it is primarily a visual medium, should really be like a silent film. You should be able to watch something and understand what was going on and use voice when you need to communicate something you can't necessarily communicate visually. The book is the opposite. The book is an inner monologue which is beautiful.

If I had been a dog walker, I would have been the most successful dog walker in Paris.

I was the sensitive, shy kid that was teased a lot. I was very definitely bullied. I mean, from an early age, I dressed more like an adult, you know, jackets and very slim trousers and a raincoat. And I - even when I was 7, 8, 9-years-old, carried an attache case to school because I just hated the sloppiness of a book bag.

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?

It's not a feminizing product it's designed to make your skin look better.

I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, 'This is the way they should dress this is the way their homes should look this is the way the world should be.' But then, that's the goal: world domination through style.

It's funny, our beauty standard has become harder and tougher because we live in a tough age. I don't think anyone wants to walk down the street and feel vulnerable. You want to walk down the street and feel like you're in control.

Dressing well is an expression of manners.

Yes, I still take my baths all day long. They're meditative. I have three a day.

Style for me is some one who figures out who they are. What works on them. What they feel good in and develops that. Develops their character. And the outer expression of their character is what is style.

I enjoy the speed of fashion. I love doing different things and I think I still have something valid to say in fashion.
Tom Ford
Image
I think that right now we're in a very hard moment and off-putting. I mean, look at shoes today - women's shoes. They couldn't possibly get any higher and meaner and sharper. But then again, you go and watch most films today, they're violent and we're living in a world that is, at the moment, quite hard.

Keep your jacket buttoned. Always. It's just really flattering—it will take pounds off you.

Perfection is almost an illness with me, but sometimes I have moments where everything is absolutely clear and you can feel, rather than think.

You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.

One of the most important things is to figure out what your look is — I don't wear this black suit-white shirt combination all the time to try and be iconic — but because I'm most comfortable in this. Cary Grant never turned up in a pink jacket and hot pants and I don't feel the need to experiment when I know I like dressing this way.

When I read about young designers selling 51 percent of their company to someone else, I cringe. I want to say, 'Don't do it - call me first.'

When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be an actor.

When I come home I actually take off all my clothes, and I wear no clothes until I leave. I eat naked. I do everything completely naked.
