Life is just a bowl of cherries, don't take it serious, its mysterious. Life is just a bowl of cherries, so live and laugh and laugh at love, love a laugh, laugh and love.
Finally, everything that has been part of my life, whether I wanted it to or not, has expressed itself in my dresses.
My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?
I can't honestly account for the very personal response that I have to one story and not another, a sense of an orbit, the orbit of a world that draws me as my own life recedes.
I wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life - and I became that woman.
Music has always been a dominant force in my life. As a young kid, it was a way for me to escape everyday life.
I could never live a nonproductive life and I feel that I have lived a productive life as far as I want to in terms of this company that I have for so many years.
I would have wanted to be a rock star, a lead singer, if I wasn't a model. I'd go touring in a bus with my band. In my next life, that's the plan.
All the things you're not supposed to do at the beginning of your professional life - transgressiveness, arbitrariness and violating expectations - you find more attractive at the end of your professional life.
I've got over so much. Mum wouldn't want anything to come into my life that would make me fragile again.
My mum has never wanted me to have children. She thinks I would be destroying my life, even now.
I don't live through my kids. But I do know what will happen in life, and I just want them well prepared.
I think I will be able to, in the end, rise above the clouds and climb the stairs to Heaven, and I will look down on my beautiful life.
I am quite sensitive to politics, because you know, as an Arab, an Iraqi, all your life, you are very conscious of it.
I had to find my own language in jewelry. That was important to me; it really had to be what I would love to have myself.
I love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.
I love Alexander McQueen. I like the construction of his suits. I think it's fantastic.
I love Opening Ceremony, Kenzo - anything Humberto Leon and Carol Lim touch. I drool over Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou, Delpozo, and Wes Gordon.
When I was young, I was told: 'You'll see, when you're fifty.' I am fifty and I haven't seen a thing.
Can that make any sense - a Belgian artist living in Mexico and working in Afghanistan?
I really think that if I had met Picasso during peacetime, nothing would have happened.
