I'm not an overly material person. Sure, I like certain comforts in life. But buying a lot of 'things' doesn't produce happiness for me.

I'm not that materialistic. I like nice clothes and that, but I don't spend lots of money on stuff. I'm not really into TV, I don't have an iPod, I've got a gramophone.

I am not trying to say that I am poor and that I don't like beautiful things. But I don't like luxury for luxury sake or in the sense of showing off luxury.

I'm not a materialistic person.

Virtue is an inner strength. It expands your nature.

I try to be very modest with what I do. I'm not a frivolous spender.

But I love fish, cheese and meat, and I eat everything, but only in small quantities if it's rich.

Food isn't like anything else. It's something precious. It's not a commodity.

But as an adult working in the fashion industry, I struggle with materialism. And I'm one of the least materialistic people that exist, because material possessions don't mean much to me. They're beautiful, I enjoy them, they can enhance your life to a certain degree, but they're ultimately not important.
