I keep my old friends, and get older with them, but push young. It's good to be surrounded by kids, because they keep you young.

When I don't know what to wear, I wear black lace.

The true test of a man's style is the haircut. There are some men who look good no matter how their hair is styled, whether it's trendy or not. A man can change his haircut many times, but to pull off any haircut, you have to be very chic. Like Brad Pitt.

I discovered the slip dress, which I think is one of the more French things because when you take off your clothes, even when to go into a shop to buy something, or you're going to Riccardo Tisci to try on a suit, it's like having protection.

Pregnancy is something that I always love. It's about hope and the future and a new baby.

Fashion is not about clothes, it is about a look.

You discover yourself through the research of your work.

The most important thing is posture: when you get old, it's the way you walk, the way you stand, that shows it.

When in doubt, wear a suit. Look at male politicians: you see them in a suit, and they look fine. But if you see a picture of them on the weekend or on vacation, there's a good chance they look terrible and unstylish.

I always try to be nice to the paparazzi because finally, maybe one day, they won't ask for me, and I will regret it.

You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.

Fashion's about extravagance, and everyone needs a bit of that.

I love curvy women. Maybe because I'm not. I would love to be a Marilyn Monroe, but I'm very far away from that... So I love very curvy girls.

I am very surprised by someone like Alexander Wang. I am amazed how he is good with fashion, with business, with public relations himself, with an attitude in his clothes that is spoken immediately.

I don't like intellectuals, or, at least, people who call themselves that way, because I am under the impression that there is always something condescending in their demeanour, and I don't like condescending people.

I am not a celebrity. I work with celebrities, and it is very difficult. When a celebrity wears a dress, it's good for business, so brands fight for the red carpet. Me? I don't like it, because fashion becomes a job about dressing celebrities. And it's a bit boring.

The fashion industry certainly has its obscene sides. The cost of a coat can be obscene. So can the cost of a photo shoot if you're working with a really good photographer.

I love black lingerie and white shoes, and I love knives.

Yes, I can speak a bit and I can read and write in Russian. I learned it from my grandmother who raised me with all the Russian fairytales.
