Karl Lagerfeld

I'm not very gifted for hairdos. I don't like gel and all those products.

Everything I say is a joke. I am a joke myself.

I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.

I can hardly eat meat because it has to look like something what it was not when it was alive.

I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know.

I love to watch times change!

Work is making a living out of being bored.

I don't want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy.

You cannot be creative with people around you.

Mostly I stay at home from the morning until 5 P.M., and I only go out for fittings and shoots because I work at home. I like to be alone.

I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.

My opinion can be completely different after a show.

In my day, there were no vet video games.

I've done many ads because that's my new career. It's an inspiring extension for my mind.

I don't eat bubble gum, but I like the smell.

I don't do meetings.

Why should I stop working? If I do, I'll die and it'll all be finished.

Vanity is the healthiest thing in life.

No, I'm not a French designer either. I'm from nowhere. I'm a European, old European is all I am.

I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
