Tom Ford Quotes on Love on ‘Charlie Rose’

Tom Ford was interviewed by Charlie Rose mostly about his new film (now playing), A Single Man.

He was lovely and has given us beautiful quotes to think about still in our “day and age”. My first favorite,

“Yeah. So, you know, people occasionally will say to me, even good friends, ‘your lifestyle’, I’m, ‘what is that, my lifestyle?’ You know, I live with someone I love. You know, we read books, we cook dinner together, we occasionally argue. We go on vacation together. We have been together for 23 years. That is my lifestyle.”

My second favorite quote speaks to me and many others, although intended as discussion about homosexual unfairness, it’s equally for any woman waiting for her boyfriend to propose or “feel ready” – as we age and live in our serious relationships.

“… Longtime partner, a boyfriend, lover, there is not a good word for that, we need to figure that out in our culture. Lover makes it sound like all you do is have sex.”

Charlie Rose pointed out,

“Boyfriend, girlfriend, we have to figure out boyfriend, girlfriend, when the girl is 40 years old.”

All I know is I will not be a girlfriend when I’m 40. The boy knows that too. Oh but can’t I still call him boy?

You can only get the video from Charlie Rose .com. Watch or buy a DVD.
