Karl Lagerfeld

Fortunately there is more wealth in the world than there was at the time of the global economic crisis of 1929 - Chinese, Indian, Arab and Russian.

My hair is not really white; it's kind of grayish, and I don't like the color. So I make it totally white with Klorane dry shampoo. That is the best thing to do because my hair is always clean.

The way I talk is bizarre.

For me, New York is comfortable, not strange.

What I hate is nasty, ugly people.

I don't know what 'normal' means, anyway.

I'm like a rock singer with one-night stands on the road.

I like to do things quickly because I'm easily bored.

Doing collections, doing fashion is like a non-stop dialogue.

What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.

I never drink anything hot; I don't like hot drinks, very strange.

People like me were supposed to be into exclusivity, unapproachable. That's what I hate most. I think it's very demode.
