It’s funny, everything is so much easier when you do it yourself.

"Grandmother" doesn't mean that you have gray hair and you retire and stay home cooking cakes for your grandchildren.

You're not on your own. You're doing things with other people. This is very important for me.

I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.

My biggest icon is Liz Taylor because I don’t think she had great taste but I loved her energy.

I think it's good that [my granddaughter] here because I lost my parents and now it's great that there's a new generation. And she's taught me new things that I've forgotten. Like, when you're on holiday and see what it's like to see a shell or go into the water for the first time.

I think that life has brought a lot to fashion, and fashion brings plenty to life. I took my children on photo shoots, at the same time, I borrowed my father's sweater for a photo shoot and, then, I am inspired by a Russian princess because of my Russian roots. Everything is all mixed in together.
