When Lagerfeld spoke German, he sounded exactly as in English or French, he was even more whitty as in a foreign language.

Fantastic person, Lagerfeld. Great sense of proportion and order, in clothes and in life. Understands himself as a worker fortunate to be in a position to do his work exactly as he likes, in the best ways, and understands too that he has an obligation to that privilege. Thus, the sense of proportion. The best people are never arrogant.

I love his effort not to let external factors affect his process as an artist. He knows that when he goes to work it’s to be an artist. If the clothes sells, it sells. If people like it, they like it. If people are attracted simply to the name. Whatever. His work is art. And an artist cannot produce authentic pieces while thinking of how to please other people. Many people try to analyze Karl by the brand side of things, when you really need to examine his from an artistic viewpoint.

While he had some abuse, esp. from his mother, she DID allow him free reign and support of his endeavors and aspirations, as did his father - at least with his father's financial support. His parents, as well as he, knew he was gay from an early age, and had a laissaiz faire attitude about Mr.Lagerfeld's sexual orientation - even from his parents! So, there seem to be several factors in Karl's attitude and resulting success. Very fortunate man, overall.
