I wanted to become a cartoon artist, a portrait artist, and an illustrator. This was my first idea. Karl Lagerfeld
I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18, so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first. Karl Lagerfeld
No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things. Karl Lagerfeld
Yes, it's very strange, for a reason I can not explain, I prefer to write in English and I write better than in French and in German, very strange. Karl Lagerfeld
Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time. Karl Lagerfeld Woman
But if I have a lot of imagination, I could tell myself whatever I wanted, you know. I handle myself quite well. I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know. There's no discussion. There is an order. You follow it. Karl Lagerfeld Imagination
I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was. Karl Lagerfeld Future
I eat fish, three times a week meat, and if not yogurt, something like this and it rarely continues. Karl Lagerfeld
I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot. Karl Lagerfeld
Cha Cha, I love. I was a champion in Cha Cha, world. I even remember very well and I do very well the Bolero. I don't know if you remember that one. Karl Lagerfeld
First, don't forget Germany after the war was not the most exciting place. I didn't even know that one could make a living in fashion. Karl Lagerfeld
If I lose even half a pound, I have two holes here in the face. I think for my bones and my size, I better stay with my 60 kilo. Karl Lagerfeld
It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it. Karl Lagerfeld
Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don't believe too much into inspiration, only I'm waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It's a little too easy to say that. Karl Lagerfeld
Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that. Karl Lagerfeld
I never - you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped. Karl Lagerfeld
No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important. Karl Lagerfeld
This kind of pastry, yes. This is what my favorite thing, what I really like. Also, extremely fine French cooking was never the thing I preferred. Karl Lagerfeld
When I was - yes, when I was a child, yes because in school we could make a choice between ballroom dancing and gym and I chose ballroom dancing. Karl Lagerfeld Dance
Because I stopped dieting already six months ago, and I think it's important to bring out a book like this and you are there a year later and say look, I'm still like this. Karl Lagerfeld
No, I'm not a French designer either. I'm from nowhere. I'm a European, old European is all I am. Karl Lagerfeld
Stupidly it should not be. It should be also nice. One must get along with that. Is however not necessary. Karl Lagerfeld Stupidity
I never smoked. I never drank and I never took drugs. The funny thing is, nothing is more boring, people like this. For me, it's OK. But most of my friends, at least they smoke and drink. Karl Lagerfeld
