“London is about standing up for your ideas with a mix of art and life.”

“I passed the bar. It was a time in the early 70s when we thought we are changing the world and there were great people in jail. I used to feel very alive when I would listen to a big criminal attorney. That was a fantastic performance.”

“I've always done this - I've always had lots of rings and bracelets, but I hate jewellery that is traditional, all perfect diamonds.”

“I'm just trying to work with my friends.”

“We just have to try to find a way to do something within our means to fight for what's right.”

“I'm always thinking about what's next and how things can be adapted.”

“You express who you are with your face and your gestures.”

“I am an Aquarius. I think there is something in that, but I won't live through that or go see the people who tell me what the cards say etc. I like to look at tarot cards but it's not that I need to read them.”

“I've always been interested in philosophy, but I don't' think there are any philosophers anymore. Now it's artists. It's a visual thing - you see art and you feel it but you don't necessarily need to read Spinoza and Deleuze to understand it.”

“I moved here because my brother had been here. He said, 'L.A. is easier. It's like New York on the Riviera.'”

“Of course I am always renovating, renovating in Paris. So what do I see? Scaffolding. Always scaffolding.”

“We have to take care of our bodies, for everybody, and for the planet.”

“I always think about the future.”

“The kind of fashion I am doing is not meant for the runways. It's made to be lived in.”

“For me it is people that want to win, that want to be bored, this is what is for me extreme.”

“Oh yes, I am very inspired by literature.”

“I figured out a way I could dye my nails and skin with vegetable-based hair dye.”

“With a movie, you can put some permanence to your voice.”

“In fashion, some evolve, some don't.”

“Subconciously, I think that wearing jewellery makes me feel free.”
