The concept of absurdity is something I'm attracted to.

I'd love to do some comedy. Particularly French comedy, which I know sounds like a contradiction in terms.

I love the absurd - kind of absurdist comedy, absurd things in life.

I think what's very French is the mixture of comedy with intimacy and a kind of reflectiveness. For U.S. audiences, the nearest thing is Woody Allen.

Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.

I love the French for their sarcasm, their irony. I love them for their bad moods.

The absurdist stuff wasn't terribly popular at the time I was doing it.

I like being absurd. Being silly.

The French are very individualistic.

I'm always fetishizing the French woman and French taste and style. My assistant will make fun of me because every time we're picking the direction of a collection, I say the same thing: 'I want it to be really French.'
