black-and-white thinking hands
I'm normally late, so I just kind of throw on the sort of thing that's at hand. And then I'll go through phases of wearing the same thing again and again and again - and my wardrobe is mainly about black and white, so it goes together. I'll play with certain elements, but I don't really think about it too much.
lonely towers sometimes
I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That's not me at all.
philosophy practice two
I practice stoic philosophy. As a human being, you may have emotions, but these don't need to affect your soul. The two are not one.
fashion thinking too-much
If I think about it too much, I can't get dressed.
thinking who-i-am people
I just am who I am. And then when people label me eccentric or different, Im kind of astonished because I think, This is completely normal. This is just how I am, its how Ive always been.
infinite
Time is infinite, but we are not infinite in it.
order cities ideas
I'd quite like to have one place where I stay put. And I don't like living in cities all the time. In order to have ideas, you have to have some peace and quiet.
art real movement
There hasn't been anything real since grunge. That was the last movement led by music or an art form.
priorities lasts emotion
A marriage is a solemn affair. The tempest of emotions and the myriad of arrangements are giddying, and when one is faced with these, clothing seems to be the last of one's priorities.
fashion political trends
Fashion is not just about trends. It's about political history. You can trace it from the ancient Romans to probably until the '80s, and you can see defining moments that were due either to revolutions or changes in politics.
memories hands trying
Memories are like mercury. Every time you sort of try to get near them, they slip out of your hand like a bar of soap.
taken journey years
Fragrance takes you on a journey of time. You can walk down the street and pass someone and get taken back 20 years. It's very Proustian that way.
beautiful thinking color
I think it's beautiful to be able to cover yourself in metal. I love the color and the way it reflects. But it is also a protection.
children hate ideas
I hate the idea of making any of my children into a mini-me. That would be terrible.
