I just want to be a wallflower. Nondescript. Just not anything. I don't want to see me.

Birds in flight fascinate me. I admire eagles and falcons. I’m inspired by a feather but also its color, its graphics, its weightlessness and its engineering. It’s so elaborate. In fact I try and transpose the beauty of a bird to women.

When we put the antlers on the model and then draped over it the lace embroidery that we had made, we had to poke them through a £2,000 piece of work. But then it worked because it looks like she's rammed the piece of lace with her antlers. There's always spontaneity. You've got to allow for that in my shows.

There is no way back for me now, I'm going to take you on journeys you've never dreamed possible

I'm about what goes through people's minds. The stuff that people don't want to admit or face up to. The shows are about what's buried in people's psyches.

I think I should be a president. President of the United States.

I'm prepared to forget about money if it affects my creativity because, remember, I started off with nothing. And I can do that again.
