hate mean thinking
It's very difficult to know when you're crossing the boundary. I hate the word boundary because I never think about it when taking a picture. Very often it doesn't mean anything because it depends on who's looking at the picture more than the content of the picture itself.
beautiful thinking age
I don't have problems with my weight, I don't change weight but I think when you're gaining in age your position has to be beautiful.
mom kids thinking
I'm always anxious when it comes to my kids. This always makes me feel very vulnerable. Sometimes you think you aren't a good mama, you always feel a bit guilty when you're a mom. You want to be everywhere.
character thinking people
I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.
morning thinking trying
I think that most of the women when they dress in the morning, they try to be someone elseToday there is too much retouching, and I don't like it...except on me.
thinking play people
I think, in many ways, certain people sought me out maybe because they liked my body language or they liked the way I wore a slit skirt, the way I cross my legs or carry my purse. It's quite inspiring to play the seduction card.
taken thinking firsts
I think the first picture taken is often the best one.
fashion stupid thinking
At the start, I had no idea to go into fashion, because I thought people would think I was stupid. I don't worry about those things anymore.
real thinking order
I think that something needs to be weird in order to have real beauty.
fashion teaching thinking
I've been working with Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy.It's been a long collaboration, and I don't think it's going to stop now. It's very important to me. Riccardo is younger than me, so it's great to have someone new teaching you in everything, not just in fashion. I'm teaching him in French style, what a women's style is, but he's teaching me in all of these different styles of music.I love this new world for me. It's refreshing and nourishing to keep learning about new things.
girl fashion thinking
I am not a good professional of fashion. I am not an expert about how clothes are constructed or the history of fashion. I never start with fashion. I always think of the girl and her personality - because all that matters to me when you look at a page is, "Do you want to be that girl?"
thinking
When everything is good, maybe I think it’s the time to do something else.
thinking long trying
I think that when you're taking pictures with my principles, you can try anything. Dare to do a lot of things - dare with sexuality, dare to break taboos as long as it remains photogenic. As long as I find an elegance and beauty in it, I am not afraid to tackle anything.
thinking chic born
I think you are born chic. You cannot be chic. It is something you cannot learn.
