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.

When you have the baby, there is no BlackBerry, no computer; you just have the baby on your stomach, and your heart is beating the same time as the baby's. It's very nice.

Fashion is supposed to be light and not try too hard.

I think, in many ways, certain people sought me out maybe because they liked my body language or they liked the way I wore a slit skirt, the way I cross my legs or carry my purse. It's quite inspiring to play the seduction card.

Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.

In photo shoots, I rely on instinct. Which is not to say I don't bring ideas to a project or consider it beforehand.

In fashion, it’s always better to be an interesting person than a beautiful one. Character is much more fascinating than pure good looks.
