Karl Lagerfeld People Quotations

I think it's very important what young people see in pictures or on TV or in magazines. Drugs, violence, anorexia. All of the things that I absolutely do not reference in my photos.

People want to know everything, and so they put you in the limelight. Sometimes, I am not down to earth, and I think I am flying away from the outer realms of reality.

People who can't be alone have a problem. Loneliness is a luxury for people like me.

I care more about the people than about the company. That's why I don't want to own it. I don't want to run a business. People do it better than I do.

There are nearly 30% of young people who are too fat. So let's take care of the zillions of the too fat before we talk about the percentage that's left.

Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.

People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.

You cannot be creative with people around you.

In France there are, I think, less than one per cent of people who are too skinny.

There are not too many people with an opinion I care for.

I never smoked. I never drank and I never took drugs. The funny thing is, nothing is more boring, people like this. For me, it's OK. But most of my friends, at least they smoke and drink.

Fashion is what people wear not only what you see on the Runway

I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was.

What I hate is nasty, ugly people.

People can drink with their eyes; I can eat with my nose.

I like chocolate. I don’t eat it, but I like the smell of it. People can drink with their eyes; I can eat with my nose. I would love to have a perfume based on chocolate.

I have a guest house because I don't want people in my home.

I'm surrounded by young and beautiful people. I hate looking at ugliness.

I'm rather pro-prostitution, I admire people who do it. It can't be much fun. Thank goodness for it. People need relief or they become murderers.

There are so many third-rate people now who are more famous than people who should be famous, but sometimes people who could or should be famous are very boring, too.

I sketch in a way that people can nearly do the dresses without me coming in for a fitting. Every single detail, every proportion, every cut -- everything.

I am very boring, but it has allowed me to survive better than other people. If you don't drink, you don't smoke, and you don't do drugs, and you're not missing it and never even wanted it, and you sleep for seven hours. I tell you, life is quite pleasant.

I am a sort of vampire, taking the blood of other people.

Children are the last thing I want. I hate all children. For other people, it's fine, but not for me. I was born not to be a family person.

Some people would like me to be round again.

The best way to know people is to work with them.

I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.

Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection.

Logos and branding are so important. In a big part of the world, people cannot read French or English--but are great in remembering signs

Be politically correct, but please don't bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that's the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.

What I hate most in life are people who are not really the peach of the day but who want to be young and sexy. You can fool nobody. There is a moment when you have to accept that somebody else is younger and fresher and hotter. Life is not a beauty contest.

THERE'S SOMETHING BORING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO GO TO AN OFFICE FOR A LIVING.

Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.

The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new.

People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.

My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn't dare do themselves.

A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul

I don't like sleeping with people I really love. I don't want to sleep with them because sex cannot last, but affection can last forever.

Those social networks, there's something sad about them. Is it because they don't have enough knowledge about friends and people? I don't understand it. It's like a talkative mirror where people talk to themselves. And what I hate most in life is selfies.

When people talk about the good old days, I say to people, 'It's not the days that are old, it's you that's old.' I hate the good old days. What is important is that today is good.

I think it's horrible that people have to be told. Don't smoke! Everybody knows it's bad for the health. But they have to forbid it.

Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young. You can fool anyone, apart from the young. The worst are the lip operations. There are people who have it done and I don't recognise them afterwards. They look like they flew through the windscreen during a car accident and were patched up badly afterwards.

I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there's no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.

People are very nice to me, even though I'm known for saying rude things.

When people want to be liked for what they did, they should stop.

I hate the word 'cheap'. People are cheap. Clothing is either expensive or inexpensive.

People like me were supposed to be into exclusivity, unapproachable. That's what I hate most. I think it's very demode.

There are so many people in the world who cannot read English or French or whatever.

Pfft, I hate Christmas Day. It's for children and families. Not for people like me.

Normal people think I'm insane.
