I dislike the idea of jewellery being like a price tag around someone's neck. It needs to be something else - and there is something extremely magical about armour.

I spend a lot of time upside down. It increases the blood flow to the brain, so it really helps your creativity.

We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty.

I don't approach fashion; fashion approaches me!

As I got older I looked at the world and I realised, we need armour. So my jewellery and clothes became my armour

I treat clothing or a piece of jewelry like it was a piece of art.

Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.

Sunglasses are great, but I always feel a bit pretentious wearing sunglasses. I mean, I do love to wear them.

I think life is about having the mixture of the curiosity of an older person and the imagination of a child.

I don't regard clothing as disposable, which is probably why I have so much of it!

I really don't understand the idea of a celebrity stylist. Is it a real job? I know there's unemployment, but frankly the railways need to be fixed, too.

Honest, open communication is the only street that leads us into the real world... We then begin to grow as never before. And once we are on this road, happiness cannot be far away.

Even great men bow before the Sun

Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.

We cannot possibly let ourselves get frozen into regarding everyone we do not know as an absolute stranger.

Shall I let in the stranger, Shall I welcome the sailor, Or stay till the day I die? Hands of the stranger and holds of the ships, Hold you poison or grapes?

It hasn't escaped my notice that you only compliment me when you're intoxicated.

Immediate are the acts of God, more swift than time or motion.

I hate being in Los Angeles when it's football season. I want to be in New York. It just doesn't feel right if I'm away.

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, 'Well, I've had it with humanity.' But I was wrong.

I don't have to forgive you, Cath said. It's not like that with you. You're just in with me. Always. No matter what happens.
