Quotes from Alexander McQueen

I am married to work.

When a woman gets dressed up to go out at night, she wants to give 50% away, and hold the rest back. If you're an open book, there's no allure.

I find beauty in melancholy.

There's beauty in anger, and anger for me is a passion.

Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.

I think there is beauty in everything.

I'm mad in the front of my mind, but business-minded in the back.

I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.

I want to empower women.

I'm interested in designing for posterity.

I'm the pink sheep in the family.

The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today
