We all look for lost time.

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.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

I hate wasting people's time.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.

Fortunately, I happened to go east at a time when live television was centered in New York.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they're growing.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.

Compared to today's salaries, our cut was minuscule but it was very good for the time.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn't understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge.

Hell, if I'd jumped on all the dames I'm supposed to have jumped on, I'd have had no time to go fishing.

I've danced one time in my life. It was the most mortifying experience I ever had.

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.

I had a wonderful time with the Stones but after 31 years, I thought it was time to move on.
