I keep on working when other people are out having fun. But I love what I do and find it hard to stop.

I mean, you can't walk down the aisle in Westminster Abbey in a strapless dress, it just won't happen - it has to suit the grandeur of that aisle, it's enormous.

I come from very humble origins, so the last thing I would ever do is to look down my nose at people who can't afford to come here to my shop.

I've generally got a good eye for design and proportion.

I don't have regrets because they are negative.

Don't be limited by the expectations of others. You can always be better and do more.

I was getting a lot of editorial, as in lots of pages in 'Vogue,' but it's far more important to get your dresses on the back of a famous person. Charlotte Rampling in Bruce Oldfield. That sells.
