De beste oneliners van Karl Lagerfeld

'Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young. The worst are the lip operations. They look like they flew through the windscreen during a car accident and were patched up badly afterwards.'

'I am like a caricature of myself, and I like that. It is like a mask. And for me the Carnival of Venice lasts all year long.'

'I'm very impeccable and clean before I go to bed. When I was a child, my mother always told me that you could wake up in the middle of the night and be deathly sick, so you always have to be impeccable. I laugh about it now, but I think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door.'

'I have a guest house because I don't want people in my home.'

'I was born three weeks later than my mother thought. I think those three weeks I never got them back.'

'The word muse is very limited. In fashion you have to dress everybody so you need all kinds of muses. It's the attitude, the spirit, the approach to life and fashion. But they don't have to be fashion freaks, because fashion freaks I'm not too crazy for.'

'I only like what I'm allowed to like. I'm beyond temptation. There is no weakness. When I see tons of food in the studio, for us and for everybody, for me it's as if this stuff was made out of plastic…I'm like the animals in the forest. They don't touch what they cannot eat.'

'She is a famous beauty. Baptiste Giabiconi (op de foto) gave her to me for Christmas to watch for two weeks when he was away, but then I refused to give her back. I thought she was too cute. She is like a kept woman. She has a strong personality. She has lunch and dinner with me on the table, with her own food. She doesn't touch my food. She doesn't want to eat on the floor. She sleeps under a pillow and she even knows how to use an iPad. She has two personal maids, for both night and day. She is beyond spoiled.'

'Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people... the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life... they are mean and they want to kill you.'

'She's not a standout beauty. Was it Bacon who said, 'There is not beauty without some strangeness in the proportions'?'

'(The Queen is) is never ridiculous, She is flawless. For this job, in our day, she is perfect. She's not supposed to be a fashion icon who is changing fashion. The Duchess of Cambridge can do that. Kate is chic in a classic way, but sometimes, with her Philip Treacy hats, Camilla is wilder. I know people who know her. Apparently, she's full of wit and spirit.'
