Film is an incredible way to express yourself and your vision, as is fashion, but you have to make sure [to] be confident and honest and true to yourself and say something that means something, because that is really the point of any art.

More quotes by Tom Ford
Style is very different from fashion. Once you find something that works, keep it.
Tom Ford
Perfection is almost an illness with me, but sometimes I have moments where everything is absolutely clear and you can feel, rather than think.
Tom Ford
I hate going out for lunch during a workday because it slows down my pace and ruins my rhythm. I prefer to eat at my desk. Actually, I wander around the design studio with a plate in my hand as I dine on, for example, salmon sashimi and a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella. I often have a bit of dark chocolate after lunch.
Tom Ford
I am one of those people who isn’t great at anything, but I’m pretty good at most things.
Tom Ford
It was like one of those dreams at high school when everyone else has clothes on except you.
Tom Ford
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.
Tom Ford
I don't work for money any longer. I work for pride.
Tom Ford
Dressing well is a kind of good manners, if you ask me. When you're standing in a room, your effect is the same as a chair's effect, or a sculpture's. You're part of someone's view, you're part of that world, and so you should dress well. I find it's a show of respect to try to put on your best face and look as good as you can.
Tom Ford
I worry constantly and obsess over things, but I just don't let fear stand in the way of doing something that I really want to do.
Tom Ford
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.
Tom Ford
When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be an actor. I actually studied acting when I was at NYU, and I made a lot of television commercials - that's actually how I put myself through NYU and through college.
Tom Ford
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.
Tom Ford
My goal is to help women to become the best version of themselves.
Tom Ford
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.
Tom Ford
A lot of people think a high armhole is restrictive, but it gives you total movement because it's cut right up to your arm.
Tom Ford
Women are objectified in our culture. And more and more, it takes a great deal of confidence, especially as a woman, to break the mold. You know, you're afraid that you're going to covered in a magazine as a fashion don't. That's why you see all these girls on the red carpet looking the same.
Tom Ford
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.
Tom Ford
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.
Tom Ford
Most everyone now personally knows someone who is openly homosexual.
Tom Ford
There's nothing wrong with ankles. But only if you're playing football in the park.
