Daphne Guinness Quotations

I really don't understand the idea of a celebrity stylist. Is it a real job? I know there's unemployment, but frankly the railways need to be fixed, too.

I play piano and I sing. But I do that for fun. I mean, I do everything for fun.

Holding a note is a very difficult thing - you have to use your whole body to achieve a perfect pitch.

Human beings all mimic each other.

I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.

Fragrance takes you on a journey of time. You can walk down the street and pass someone and get taken back 20 years. It's very Proustian that way.

I think it's beautiful to be able to cover yourself in metal. I love the color and the way it reflects. But it is also a protection.

Everyone wants to get behind the red rope, but actually: be yourself, don't believe what you see, don't believe all this marketing.

I don't tell anybody else what to wear. I would never dream of it.

We need a government, not politics. Because there's too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization.
