More From Jean Paul Gaultier

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.

I grew up in a bookless house - my parents didn't read poetry, so if i hadn't had the chance to experience it at school i'd never have experienced it. but i loved english, and i was very lucky in that i had inspirational english teachers, miss scriven and mr. walker, and they liked us to learn poems by heart, which i found i loved doing.

Adolescence is a time when children are supposed to move away from parents who are holding firm and protective behind them. when the parents disconnect, the children have no base to move away from or return to. they aren't ready to face the world alone. with divorce, adolescents feel abandoned, and they are outraged at that abandonment. they are angry at both parents for letting them down. often they feel that their parents broke the rules and so now they can too.

You're lucky if you reach the point where you go, "ok, i have a wonderful life ...i fly around the world, stay in beautiful places, people are generally quite sweet to me, what's to complain about?" but i think you have to get there... and it's taken me the best part of 54 years to reach that point where i'm like, "i'm very lucky, i'm lucky, i'm blessed" - all of those things. i wish i could impart that to other people but i think when you're young, you just don't listen.

I was born lucky, and i have lived lucky. what i had was used. what i still have is being used. lucky.

I'm lucky i'm in love with my best friend lucky to have been where i have been lucky to be coming home again

I ate apple pie and ice cream—it was getting better as i got deeper into iowa, the pie bigger, the ice cream richer. there were the most beautiful bevies of girls everywhere i looked in des moines that afternoon—they were coming home from high school—but i had no time for thoughts like that…so i rushed past the pretty girls, and the prettiest girls in the world live in des moines.

My stepfather, john o'hara, was the goodest man there was. he was not a man of many words, but of carefully chosen ones. he was the one parent who didn't try to fix me. one night i sat on his lap in his chair by the wood stove, sobbing. he just held me quietly and then asked only, "what does it feel like?" it was the first time i was prompted to articulate it. i thought about it, then said, "i feel homesick." that still feels like the most accurate description - i felt homesick, but i was home.

Every night, my girlfriend comes home from work, and she brings with her a houseplant. she's like, 'anthony, i had to pick this up. we need a houseplant in our apartment.' and every night, i make her return it. i say, 'no way, baby. you can't take care of a houseplant. you couldn't even keep your baby alive.'
