Fantastic profile story on Uncle Karl

“I have no problem with journalists – many are friends,” he says. “Only if they are really stupid, or if they’ve got bad breath, or if they smell. Yesterday I had a problem. I said, ‘I’m sorry, you’ve got to tell this woman that she needs to be taken away. Her smell is not possible.’ ”

I hated the idea of being in a dormitory with other people. No, no, no,” he says, hitting the table as he speaks. “My sisters were sent away because my mother thought they were boring. I was not boring.”

“They sent a private jet,” he says. “I said, ‘It’s too small. I need a bigger plane.’ It’s fun, no?”

Lol these quotes are so funny :lol:

“I buy my shoes a size too small,” he says. “I like the way it feels.”

He fascinates me! (And scares me too, but as long as I don't have to meet him... I'm in awe!)

"I’m mad for books,” he says, sitting motionless behind his black Dior shades. “It is a disease I won’t recover from. They are the tragedy of my life. I want to learn about everything. I want to know everything, but I’m not an intellectual, and I don’t like their company. I’m the most superficial man on Earth.”

I don't think that's true!

His mother:

He was not allowed to chatter on when talking to her and had to be quick, the reason why he now talks so fast. “ ‘You may be six years old, but I am not,’ she used to say.”

She refused to let him wear glasses although he was short-sighted, saying: “Children with glasses are the ugliest thing in the world.”

She also took little interest in his schooling, never attending a parent-teacher evening. Nor did she ever attend one of his fashion shows later in life, despite his success. “She said, ‘Well, I didn’t go to your father’s office either,’ ” he laughs.

Johnny Depp will play him eventually. . . he really is like a character from Nightmare Before Christmas or Edward Scissorhands. . . crazy and somehow likable!
