“I realised I was living in my own universe with lots of assistants. I didn't have a cell phone; I didn't know how to use a computer. Everybody was doing everything for me. So I left and moved to New York. It was the end of an era, and I must say I found myself a bit lost. I wasn't in the protected Mugler universe any more.”
“אופנה היא דבר יפה, אמנות בתלת ממד על גוף האדם, אבל זה לא הספיק לי כמעצב. זה כבר לא היה הכלי הנכון בשבילי.”
“אנשים מכירים את ההשפעה שלי על הגזרה, כי מאז שנות ה־70 עשיתי זאת, אבל אני לא בטוח שהם מבינים את מידת ההשפעה שהייתה לי על עולם האופנה.”
“כשמכרתי כרטיסים בפעם הראשונה לתצוגה שעשינו באולם זנית' בפריז, הם נמכרו בשוק השחור ולתצוגה הגיעו 6,000 איש.”
“הגעתי לאופנה כי רציתי לעשות מופעים, ואופנה הייתה האמצעי שלי. התצוגות התקיימו פעמיים בשנה ומאוחר יותר ארבע פעמים בשנה.”
“I want my models to be bigger, stronger and taller than common mortals. I need superwomen and supermen.”
“I survived on sandwiches, and I was on stage every night for six years of my life. I was working 16 hours a day between class, rehearsal, being on stage.”
“The reason I quit fashion was that I had had enough of spending my time always being on my knees, making other people look amazing and fabulous.”
“Hindu sages say that you should concentrate while eating. But, we don't have time anymore. Fast food is not quick enough for me. I would like super-fast food in the form of pills.”
“You're working with models who are looking at their watch, and it didn't work for me. I wanted to have relationships with amazing people.”
“The potential of your body is endless.”
“I am not trendy. I am not 'in fashion.' I am simply a positive human being who has a positive outlook on life.”
“I have always tried to sublimate the body and to make people dream.”
“I used fashion to express myself as much as I could. But at some point, it was not enough.”
