In anything you do, it's important to have your own personality there.

I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.

I was schooled at home, then didn't go to university because I married when I was 17. I didn't go into work until late in my life.

Some people take fashion very seriously....but that’s not right... Fashion should be fun!

I find that it is much easier now for women to be in any position because, as you see, they are presidents of banks, they are prime ministers, they are doctors. Everything is about women.

I think it is good that fashion is a challenge because when something is a challenge, you want to do it better.

Don't wear excessive make-up as you grow older. Young women can wear whatever make-up they want, but if you are older, you will regret it.
