Why are men talking about what clothes they're wearing? It's so unmanly, I think. It's like Versailles before the Revolution, without the style.

I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.

It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.

To give and not expect anything in return, that is what lies at the heart of love.

I seem to have been everywhere in the last 30 years, maybe not in the epicenter but flying around the periphery of extraordinary events and equally extraordinary people.

I have nothing to complain about.. except maybe people wondering if a queen like me can be butch-it-up enough to play a convincing straight man.

From my point of view, being out is not about anything political. It's just because I can't be bothered to be in.

I smell of sweat. I don't like people smelling of all these weird things. I think deodorant is disgusting.

Authority figures are so irritating. Because they always tell you to do things for reasons that aren't very good. That sums up what authority is about for me.

We now live in a world where the only thing to have is success, but failure is marvelous. It's fertiliser, it's like living fertiliser, because you're forced on yourself.

You're not allowed to be an eccentric in the world, you have to fit it.

Because the sun helps you in the day, do not scoff at stars at night.

It’s always been you, Paige. I’ve waited my whole life for you. You’re the air I breathe, my heart and soul. Without you, I’m in hell.

I've always been a poor sport and a sore loser...any other behavior might encourage a repeat performance

At Yves Saint Laurent, I felt like the son-in-law - like I was part of the family, but not quite. When I was fired, I felt like the widow.

What if we knew what tomorrow would bring? Would we fix it? Could we?

I love clothes. I can't control myself. I have a huge fetish for shoes and clothes and make-up. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to wear things over and over again.

Your child will live a life ten years younger than you because of the landscape of food that we've built around them.

You'll never call him Fifi again.

On tour I feel like it's always so go go...you're always just taking in and storing information and feelings and things. So for me I need time off to let all those things come out and settle.

To be beautiful is enough! if a woman can do that well who should demand more from her? You don't want a rose to sing.
