I translated Beatles songs for my English class.

There's always some kind of hidden logic.

The idea of seeing everybody clad the same is not really my cup of tea.

French design hardly exists, except as artificial modernism.

There are days when I'm completely depressed and able to do only one drawing.

I translated Beatles songs for my English class.

But the Milanese have made bad choices, bad fashion, and bad jewelry.

I'd experienced the '40s and '50s by looking at my grandparents' old clothes, books, and magazines.

The notion of time bothers me. You look at thirty-year-old photographs and realize how the time has passed.

They say that the best furniture and clothing design from the '50s and '60s is Scandinavian or Milanese.

In Italy, the Milanese are well organized but follow bourgeois taste. They adhere to certain codes of elegance, but not to individualism.

We all look for lost time.

Going out in Paris was like going out in the '30s dressed like the Andrews Sisters. It was everything I'd seen in books at my grandparents' house, only it was our generation.

Italy is a divided country without a center.

Fashion needs to be worn.

For me, I am still very happy to be able to do stage design as it's an opportunity to express the extreme.

I am always anxious to know what has happened while I've been asleep.

I am not nostalgic for the past.

I am still in love with couture because it is just two months from drawing pad to runway so everything on the catwalk is hot from the oven.

I look for friends who make me laugh.

I never loved the world around me as it was.

If I was a fashion designer just following trends or designing for celebrities, I would not be fulfilled.

If you look back at the history of creativity in clothes - the French Revolution, the First World War and the Second World War - they have all been creative reinventions, the moment new forms of luxury come into play.

People want to be in their own fashion tribes, so they want to wear the same clothes to be connected to everyone else in that tribe. But they want to be different from other tribes.

Perhaps I shouldn't have been influenced by the idea that my name could be spread across the entire world.

Since I was a child I've loved going to the opera, theatre and ballet.

The world needs some excitement from fashion.

Very skinny women don't look beautiful in clothes.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

The best thanks we could offer those who went before and raised the Irish working class from their knees was to press forward with determination and enthusiasm towards the ultimate goal of their efforts, a Co-operative Commonwealth for Ireland.

Make no mistake: The organization of the working class must be both economic and political. The capitalist is organized upon both lines. You must attack him on both.

In economic panics throughout history, the wiping out of the savings accounts of lower earners and the middle class has often led to social revolution, sometimes violent upheavals.

It is the tendency of the social burdens to crush out the middle class, and to force society into an organization of only two classes, one at each social extreme.

I once said, "We will bury you," and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you.

I certainly did feel inferior. Because of class. Because of strength. Because of height. I guess if I'd been able to hit somebody in the nose, I wouldn't have been a comic.

I grew up in Michigan, in a very small town, Centreville. In my graduating class, I had like 92 people.

These interests of the workers, as the exploited and oppressed, class of society, are the same in all countries.

We need to work together, on a bipartisan basis, to create new jobs, increase job training, enact real and substantive middle class tax relief, and reward companies that create jobs at home.

At one point in college I was so shy that I'd drop out of a class if asked to speak in front of other people.

I recommend the same therapies for all humans with HIV. There is no reason to believe that physiologic responses to therapy will vary across lines of class, culture, race or nationality.

After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes.

There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else.

I was a class clown.

I made a living out of being a class clown.

Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.

I have thought about the next steps, and you know, they still don't know that I can dance. They don't know it, and it's frustrating me because I feel that it's an edge that I have, and I'm not talking about I took this hip hop class, I'm talking about this is how people actually know me.

I met Kevin when I was 19, at a Second City workshop. We were paired up together in the first class I went to. By the end of the class we formed our improv group, and over the next three years we performed leading up to the formation of The Kids in the Hall.

Making my class laugh and getting in trouble. I was the class clown.

If there's an enduring theme in my work, it's probably the effects of class on American life.
