To have lived your dream is very rare in life. I am a very happy man. I have been so fortunate.

Balenciaga was my religion. Since I'm a believer, for me, there's Balenciaga, and the good Lord.

I love to dance, and I love to see people dance. It is good exercise. It gives you a kind of energy.

Each of my garments is something special in itself. You give all your energy to each piece, to each creation, and I have no favourite. I love all of them equally.

I haven't really got a green thumb, but I love gardens and their architecture.
