People don't know how to be outrageous anymore.
I was always very much a diva.
I'm not an austere person.
Red carpet is always fun, but you're never going to see me on the street or in the grocery store in 6-inch heels. But I am always going to have big, fabulous hair and makeup.
There are lots of people who are red-carpet types, but that's not me.
I don't mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you're Barbara Streisand.
Everything that came to me, in terms of the ritzier side of performing, was a plus.
Stephen Jones' hats are what we used to call 'creations'; extravagant, odd things for extravagant, odd people like Madonna or Lady Gaga. They're worn in a parallel universe.
From the 1920s through to the 1970s, bridal was related to the fashion of the times. Then in the 1980s, it became more historical, decadent, and ornate.
I'm like a menu at an expensive restaurant; you can look at me, but you can't afford me.
Ferraris are lovely cars, but I just don't want to be seen in them.
I wanted to make a black 'Dynasty.'
I like this word decadent; all shimmering and purple and gold.
In fact, I love my glamourous image.
True love, it's like an illness. I never understood it before. In books and plays. Poems. I never understood what drove otherwise intelligent, right-thinking people to do such extravagant, irrational things. Now I do. It's an illness. You can catch it when you least expect. There's no known cure. And sometimes, in its most extreme, it's fatal.
My mum and dad are pretty amazing chefs and they spent most of my childhood cooking really extravagant things for my sister and me.
I think weddings are ridiculous.
If people know anything about Russians, we do things really over the top. We wear high heels everywhere. We show up in the most extravagant outfits. I am just embodying how I was raised and what I grew up in. Some people might think we're extra; I just think we're ravishing.
[Characterizing Republicans:] ... the Grey Poupon crowd, the Gucci-shoe wearing, Mercedes-driving, polo-playing, jacuzzi-soaking, Perrier-drinking, Aspen-skiing, ritzy rich.
I'm a large, bombastic type of windbag.
I am sorry to tell you that I am getting very extravagant and spending all my money: and what is worse for you, I have been spending yours too.
I like everything loud, over the top, dramatic.
We have the word 'Mc' attached to so many things now, like 'McMansions.' It's become part of our vernacular as something on steroids almost, just bigger and bigger. I think, to a degree, studios have fallen prey to that as well.
I'm a flamboyant type of guy, a cooler version of Liberace.
When I make music, I tend to make music that are really over the top.
