Chanel is here forever. She changed fashion, she changed culture, and she changed how people dress.

Chanel is everywhere. Pick up a magazine. You'll find Chanel all over it. That's the imprint that she had. I mean, she did so much.

Chanel is composed of only a few elements, white camellias, quilted bags and Austrian doorman's jackets, pearls, chains, shoes with black toes. I use these elements like notes to play with.

Respect and mutual respect are important. I, for instance, often show my latest work so that people can see how I work.

Whatever I did in 1960, half a century ago, I couldn't do that today and enter the field. The field has changed so much, you have to adapt to the times whatever you're doing. That's the reality of life: you have to be a different person today than you had to be then.

I like to talk to people and, obviously, to photograph them.
