Camp Met Gala: "Anna's dress had nothing at all to do with camp, it was elegant and expressed the highest standards of Chanel technique and refinement, as designed by Karl. The last of his mind's creations Anna will ever own. She also chose a Chanel pink feathered cape, which I was not a fan of to begin with... Anna does not have the deportment to make an elegant cape move with [some french word idk]"

carolina herrera gets the Lifetime Achievement award from him. "When she dressed in Paris, at the couture, she had a cardinal rule: 'I always selected the dress I knew no one else would think of buying.' For nearly five decades, she has been the most elegant lady in New York. Karl Lagerfeld said so and I agree"

"...Real life for so long has been one of selected darkness, but the sun eventually shines. I dreamed of the life I have lived, and I survived with dignity and grace... I think it is a true wonder that I have come this far. I have always feared life. I love living, and I love looking to the endless skies."

"My faith and my church life are paramount to my wellness. In Victor Hugo's novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Quasimodo the bell keeper shouts out 'Sanctuary, sanctuary!' That resonates in my life, as I have always, to the very moment I pen this, been afraid of real life...

"I thank God for my grandmother's silent love and for Diana Vreeland's exuberant outbursts of love and affection. When I am overwhelmed with feelings of emptiness and deep sadness, when the day begins and ebbs into dark blues, I have life-enhancing stratagems to make the day a better one. I begin each day in prayers for my friends and loved ones"
