I think it's interesting to speak when you have something to say.

It's always important to invest in young talents and the talents of tomorrow.

I think an art collection is a lot like a diary. Your taste evolves with time. I try to never sell anything, because it's part of my journey.

Although I feel very French, a part of my heart is in the States. When my brother and I arrived, we didn't really speak any English, and when we left, that's all we spoke when we played together. It was just a beautiful place to grow up.

The Americans are very effective and action-driven.

I firmly believe that success lies in the combination of both talent and business savvy, and that the magic comes through partnership between both.

When you’re a young talent, and you want to launch your brand, you always have tons of questions: Where should I produce? Should I launch a second line? Should I do shoes, accessories? If you have someone who can coach you and give you advice and help you find the right supplier, it’s a big help.

You have to be very brave and very entrepreneurial – you have to dare to create your own brand.

It’s important to celebrate the monogram. It’s the DNA of Vuitton. I think – I hope – there is an interest in the philosophy and culture of the Vuitton name. It’s quite coherent and intellectual, and the products are great. These are things you will want to pass on – things you treasure.

I'm lucky that it's about fashion and perfume and cosmetics. If my father had owned a tire company, I don't know what I would have done.
