Being rich and miserable has got to be better than poor and unhappy.

I've had a lot of dates, but I don't think there's been anyone that special or important.

I don't like the anonymity of the banking process - people now don't have a bank manager they ever meet.

I come from a family of traders; my grandmother and my mother were very good at making money.

Believe me, I've done my time travelling the world in cramped conditions and carrying my own luggage. Now my leisure is summers in the south of France or the Hamptons, walking in Connemara, and year-round shopping in Manhattan and Paris.

Every couple needs glue to stay together. Like all marriages, I suspect, if you're busy you don't see it coming until you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. It's a bit like going broke. It happens slowly and then very quickly.

I think that in a family some are workers some are not. I certainly saw my mother work very hard and be in charge and never show any kind of fear about business deals. Her golden rule was you should never be embarrassed talking about money and asking for what you deserved. I take the same view.
