huge life
My whole life has been a huge mistake, but what a divine mistake - doing something that I adore.
nature people run saint shop tribal wearing
Some people just use beautiful things to just shop or to have a tribal feeling - 'Oh, blah, blah, blah, I'm wearing Hermes; blah, blah, blah, I'm wearing Saint Laurent; blah-blah blah' - because it's like a need, a tribe, recognition: 'Ahh, my Rolex.' But I run away from anything which is too recognizable - it's my nature.
incredible mother
My mother has an incredible rigidity, which is very Catholic.
sounds
I do and re-do things that I used to do in a flash, because I want to be more perfectionist about these things. Maybe it sounds pompous and pretentious, but that's the way I feel.
slovenly
slovenly and outwardly repulsive. But at the same time, is there not something magnetic?
death
I just don't get death at all. Yes, it's there. But I don't get it.
shoes two secret
The secret of toe cleavage, a very important part of the sexuality of the shoe; you must only show the first two cracks.
attitude my-attitude betray
I'm going to do what I do, even more exaggerated. This is my attitude always. I don't betray myself at all.
shoes way metamorphosis
Shoes are the quickest way for women to achieve instant metamorphosis.
years fabulous adore
I adore Jean-Louis Trintignant - even at 100 years old he's fabulous.
shoes eccentric nonsense
I love exaggerated, and I love eccentric, but you must be comfortable. Otherwise it is nonsense. There is nothing charming about a woman who cannot walk in her shoes.
spain london
Everything is global now. It's not London, it's not Spain, it's not Italy - everything is everywhere. So you have to be everywhere, I guess.
shoes furniture tempted
I've never been tempted to do these hideous furniture shoes.
amanda knows
I don't even know Amanda Seyfried or whatever - they're all the same!
