I don't want to be on the Internet.
People like me were supposed to be into exclusivity, unapproachable. That's what I hate most. I think it's very demode.
I have my permanent muses and my muses of the moment.
The French say you get hungry when you’re eating, and I get inspired when I’m working. It’s my engine
I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.
I never drink anything hot; I don't like hot drinks, very strange.
I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
Stuff your brain with knowledge.
The reason American cars don't sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That's why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.
I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.
Virgos are very faithful. I'm a faithful friend. I'm a faithful lover.
I've survived quite a few generations. That's because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.
If you stick to something doggedly, you are off to a bad start.
