Looking at flowers, simple things in life. I don't need to look at gold and a castle; sometimes its very simple things that are very beautiful. I am keeping my eyes fresh to find beauty in many places, and in gold, too, sometimes!

I like beauty to be a bit edgy, not typical. For me, the only rule is looking good.

Find your own way, have an open spirit, and believe in your own beauty.

My mother never wore much make-up, and she was a kind of natural beauty; she knew just how to enhance what she had.

It was never in my mind to be famous.

I think there was a freedom in the 1920s and 1930s: a certain liberty and evolution of women.

Women have to find their own personality, their own style, and what suits them the best.

It's more fun to have a name rather than a number. I think this gives our products a personality. I get the names from literature, movies, opera, traveling, nature, poetry, sometimes even the street. I keep a small book that I write in. I wake up in the middle of the night and jot down a name for a lipstick or an eyeshadow.
