Karl Lagerfeld Loves Porn, Carla Bruni, And High-Class Escorts
On pedophilia:
…I was very successful with pedophilia. I knew about it when I was ten. [But] it was impossible to touch me. I would run away and I would tell my mother about people she knew, like the brother of one of my sister’s husbands. Nothing happened, but my mother said, “You know, darling, it’s your fault. You see how you behave.”
On Carla Bruni:
She was one of the ten supermodels…She has a great education and speaks many languages. She’s perfect for the job of first lady. I even photographed her naked. She’s very cool like that. The photo is beautiful. I can show you the nude of her. I did it for Visionaire in 1998.
On porn:
I admire porn…And I personally only like high-class escorts. I don’t like sleeping with people I really love. I don’t want to sleep with them because sex cannot last, but affection can last forever. I think this is healthy. And for the way the rich live, this is possible. But the other world, I think they need porn. I also think it’s much more difficult to perform in porn than to fake some emotion on the face as an actor.
On fur and eating meat:
I always say, when people talk about not using fur, “Are you rich enough to make an income for the people in the north who live from hunting? What do you want them to live off of when there’s nothing else to do?” It is farmers who are nice to the cows and the pigs and then kill them. It’s even more hypocritical than hunters. At least the hunters don’t flatter the animals… I don’t like that people butcher animals, but I don’t like them to butcher humans either, which is apparently very popular in the world.
On communication:
Well, I hate telephones. I prefer faxes because I like to write. People I’m really friendly with have faxes. Anna Wintour has one. We speak via fax. And in Paris I send letters to people…I’m not a chambermaid whom you can ring at every moment.
On exercise and losing weight:
I worked out when I was very young and then one day I was bored to death by it. I did it before other people did it. I did it in the 60s and late 50s. [Then] there came this new line from Hedi Slimane at Dior, that you needed to be slim to wear. It said, “You want this? Go back to your bones.” And so I lost it all. I lost 88 pounds and never got them back.
