I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot. – Karl Lagerfeld
When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said – and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded – Its like hair color. Its nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. Its not a subject. This was a very healthy attitude. – Karl Lagerfeld
