Dries van Noten Quotes

Some artists are like ready-salted crisps and just do what they are supposed to do. But I'm every flavour in one. I'm one of those variety packs.

Every decorative piece in this house is my feeling, my choice.

I want to wear something that's not perfectly matching; there has to be something unorthodox about it. I want to create this mystery.

For me, decorating perfection means eclectic styles and collections of beautiful things like pottery, pillboxes and match strikers.

No one is a plain white room. I hate going into a home that is done to the nines but has nothing do with the homeowner - no knickknacks, no art that has anything to say about the person who lives there.

I don't mind being unlikely. I'd rather that than be predictable.

Well, I've always been eclectic.

The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not.

Age, style, where you come from, where you were born, it's different every time, which, to me, is refreshing because it says that there isn't any one thing, one formula or kind of character that makes a great comedian. Everybody has had a different approach.

I've always done everything at my disposal to avoid labeling what I do, or to avoid being labeled myself.

We are a weird bunch, we are very disparate.

I don't really have one style; I just choose what I like best each time.

Fashion somehow, for me, is purely and happily irrational.

Everybody has their own style. If you went to the movies every week and everybody acted the same way Tom Cruise did, boy, wouldn't that suck?

I live with the things that I love: art, furniture, and objects that I have collected throughout my travels.

You can't really copy what I do because I don't do anything.

One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.

I always say that I don't like it when people follow trends too much, just because it is on the runway. I think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is.
