There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company.

I'm not interested in being liked.

I came to terms with not fitting in a long time ago. I never really fitted in. I don't want to fit in. And now people are buying into that.

From Alexander McQueen

Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive. I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there's no room for fault. But I don't expect to turn things around all by myself. I'm not a saint.

From Alexander McQueen

Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.

From Alexander McQueen

I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.

From Alexander McQueen

There is something sinister, something quite biographical about what I do - but that part is for me. It's my personal business. I think there is a lot of romance, melancholy. There's a sadness to it, but there's romance in sadness. I suppose I am a very melancholy person.
