Then you will say to them, 'Yes, the stars always make me laugh!' And they will think you are crazy. It will be a very shabby trick that I shall have played on you...”
“I hate fashion. Or the word fashion, which sounds colorful, extravagant, expensive and gorgeous. â€œI never wanted to walk the main street of fashion. I have been walking the sidewalks of fashion from the beginning, so Iâ€™m a bit dark.”
