Daphne Guinness Thinking Quotations

I think it's beautiful to be able to cover yourself in metal. I love the color and the way it reflects. But it is also a protection.

We need a government, not politics. Because there's too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization.

I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.

I think life is about having the mixture of the curiosity of an older person and the imagination of a child.

I think the world's just gone completely mad, with everyone wearing the same things, even celebrities.

I just am who I am. And then when people label me eccentric or different, Im kind of astonished because I think, This is completely normal. This is just how I am, its how Ive always been.

If I think about it too much, I can't get dressed.

I'm normally late, so I just kind of throw on the sort of thing that's at hand. And then I'll go through phases of wearing the same thing again and again and again - and my wardrobe is mainly about black and white, so it goes together. I'll play with certain elements, but I don't really think about it too much.

When I think my hair needs a bit of help, I just glue another bit onto my head.
