We are the most amazing creatures that this world has ever produced, but we seem to also have this herd mentality; we seem to be the most stupid, also.
Home, more than anything, means warmth and bed.
I don't care if you get up in the morning and don't wash, don't put any make-up on, don't do your hair, even, but you have to have clothes if you want to look different.
Journalists are usually quite jealous people, especially of intellectuals who are supposed to be in fashion.
I urge everyone to be trendsetters for Azza Suleiman. Let's make it one fashion which everyone will want to follow.
I have certain signatures, certain cutting principles. It could be a raw-edged seam; it could be leaving the lining of sheepskin exposed so it's not perfectly finished. I invent new ways to do it, but the end goal is always the same.
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas.
Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.
There's nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.
It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.
The sexiest people are thinkers. Nobody's interested in somebody who's just vain with a hole in their head, talking about the latest thing - there is no latest thing. It's all rubbish.
My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor.
Popular culture is a contradiction in terms. If it's popular, it's not culture.
I disagree with everything I used to say.
I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish.
It's true the punk fashion itself was iconographic: rips and dirt, safety pins, zips, slogans, and hairstyles. These motifs were so iconic in themselves - motifs of rebellion.
Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.
I can't think without my glasses.
All that self-expression has just created a generation of morons, hooked on an endless appetite for rubbish.
What I'm always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.
We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die; a sustainable world. It could be great.
The last people with any ideas are young people.
I didn't consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.
I'm the proof - you can't throw away tradition.
Fashion is life-enhancing, and I think it's a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.
My clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body - they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman.
In history people dressed much better than we do today.
If you wear clothes that don't suit you, you're a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.
If you're too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
Don't just eat McDonald's, get something a bit better. Eat a salad. That's what fashion is. It's something that is a bit better.
Liverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion; they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.
I think I've got wiser.
We wanted to step off our island and add the color of the third world. We got gold cigarette paper and stuck it around our teeth. We really did look like pirates and dressed to look the part.
The main message of Climate Revolution is that climate change is caused by the rotten financial system we've got, designed to create poverty and rip off any profits for a small amount of rich people. Meanwhile, it destroys the earth.
My children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded. I gave them a lot of freedom when they were still very young. The one thing they got from me is morals. They would never betray anyone. They are really good people.
The muscular, athletic type is not representative of the human race, who are varied in their physique.
There is so much that people take for granted.
I do not approve of museums trying just to get people to come in. Whistler was very, very clear on this.
I'd like to be the last person alive in the world! Yes, I'd like to know what happens.
I was a punk before it got its name. I had that hairstyle and purple lipstick.
I was so upset with what was going on in the world. I just couldn't stand the idea of being people tortured and that we even had such a thing as war. I hated the older generation, who had not done anything about it. Punk was a call-to-arms for me.
I do think we're an endangered species. But that we do have a plan to save the rainforest.
I am always trying to find fabrics that are more friendly to the environment - working with Virgin Atlantic, they managed to research into this and find more eco fabrics.
I don't care how many beauty treatments you have, I don't care which bag you're carrying - you have to have a dress.
If you hear Anarchy in the UK today your hair stands on end. It gives you the shivers.
The capitalist system is about taking from the Earth and from the other great commodity, labour. What's happening with this system is that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, and the only way out of it is supposed to be growth. But growth is debt. It's going to make the situation worse.
I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle.
