any quotes about specific models?

well I only rememeber him saying something about Daria Werbowy...something like She's much more than a model

omg!! I love Karl so much, his quotes are mainly just funny. I love this one in paticular:

Especially the last bit "I have no time for this foolishness" such a typical Karl thing to say, you've gotta love him
