A magazine is not just one person. And a fashion shoot is the same!

People say I look like my father. My son is very much like him.

I miss my parents. But still, my granddaughter, my daughter, my grandma, you know, so it's very important for me. You lost your parents, but a new baby comes. It's like the cycle of fashion.

What is chic is just to be perfect, like magical, no?

I saw 'The Devil Wears Prada.' I don't think it's a reality.

I am very surprised by someone like Alexander Wang. I am amazed how he is good with fashion, with business, with public relations himself, with an attitude in his clothes that is spoken immediately.

I think it is good when something can stay interesting for a long time. It's not just a trend for one month.

'Vogue' is a very specific world. You are 'Vogue,' or not 'Vogue.'

When you're writing, you're on your own, and I like to work as a team.

I started as a writer for magazines, and soon they asked me to illustrate my stories. I started from the bottom of the bottom. And I climbed the stairs, one by one.

My father was very chic. My mum was always encouraging me. Some parents would say, 'Why don't you be a lawyer, a doctor, or something more important?' They never said that.

You discover yourself through the research of your work.

I think the 'Harpers Bazaar' woman is not a fashion victim; she understands fashion but is not a victim, you know.

If you are a reader of 'Harper's Bazaar,' to me, you are a woman who loves fashion, but not just fashion; you love fashion, you love travel, you love art, you love music.

'Grandmother' doesn't mean that you have gray hair and you retire and stay home cooking cakes for your grandchildren.

Sometimes pressure can be good, and it gives you a lot of energy to do something.

I'm not a Facebook girl. Even though there is a fake Facebook with my name, it's not me. I'm not on Twitter; it's not me.

When Tom Ford asked me to consult for Gucci, I had never consulted in my life. I didn't know what consulting was, and look, we made something amazing.

I was never conscious that I was becoming an icon or I'm not an icon, because my family, my kids, my husband keep me down-to-earth.

I'm not the girl next door.

You can't put yourself into competition with a magazine like 'Vogue.' You have to create something new, something different.

'Vogue' is a very beautiful magazine, an institution, and I learned so much working there.

If Caravaggio was a photographer today, I would love to work with him. I love his dark vision - I have a dark vision.

I like to provoke. I'm very French.
