Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. English people don't have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly and learning French at an early age helped me enormously.
  • 2. There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.
  • 3. In this electronic age we see ourselves being translated more and more into the form of information moving toward the technological extension of consciousness.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It's amazing. I can't believe how brilliant the whole thing is – my daughter Georgia is just wonderful.
  • 2. Exercise is amazing from the inside out. I feel so alive and have more energy.
  • 3. Well I was already so happy being chosen to do the issue itself that when I got on the cover it was even more of a surprise and even more amazing to me.

3 Anger

  • 1. The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul angry or gentle. Anger is just and pity is just but judgement is never just.
  • 2. The bare recollection of anger kindles anger.
  • 3. Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.
  • 2. I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out she'll kill me.
  • 3. I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready I think I would have rather been watching.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I think architecture has to be a gift.
  • 2. So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.
  • 3. I love building spaces: architecture furniture all of it probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.
