life
I think when I became a grandmother my life changed a lot, and I think I changed personally.
destroy family girls lives
I see girls who are so skinny on the catwalks, and I know so many of them destroy their lives and their family's lives.
wears
I saw 'The Devil Wears Prada.' I don't think it's a reality.
french mom work
My mom read French 'Elle' when I was a little girl, and so, when I was 15 or 16, I said, 'I want to work in fashion.'
cool exciting london mind small
London Fashion Week isn't the most organised, but I don't mind that. It's such an exciting place - it's small and cool.
bit interested keeps maybe people rock roll stay
When you get older, you have to stay a bit rock n' roll so that young people will still be interested in you. The way you move, the way you talk, maybe the way you have your hair in your face a little bit - this keeps you interesting.
kids
When you have a magazine like 'Vogue,' you know a lot of kids are going to follow your pictures.
good surrounded
I keep my old friends, and get older with them, but push young. It's good to be surrounded by kids, because they keep you young.
family ten
I made a big family when I was working at 'Vogue' for ten years, and I'm still friends with a lot of them.
front good lens
It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
french welcomed york
When I left French 'Vogue,' New York welcomed me with a big, big hug.
future hope love pregnancy
Pregnancy is something that I always love. It's about hope and the future and a new baby.
hello karl leather looks rings room tough
Karl Lagerfeld looks very tough because of the glasses, and he has all these rings and the leather gloves, and he's so smart. But he's a very nice person... when he comes into a room or studio, he is going to say hello to each person, and the same when he leaves.
life people
When you give a lot of confidence in people and you don't get it back, you are a bit disappointed, but it's life.
