Politics are private. I don't understand people who try to convince you to join one party or another.

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.

Femininity is a lot of power. It's allure. And the moment you start competing directly with a man, it's not that fun.

Feeling good about yourself and your life is very important. I'm a happy woman, happy with my husband, my daughters, my grandchildren. We all get along quite well, and that keeps me centered.

I believe that you have to treat the people who work with you like your family.

I don't like to follow too many trends because trends tend to make women look like they are wearing uniforms.

You have to find your own style, and it's difficult to define what style is. It's not what you're wearing; it's how you wear it. It's something very personal, and it reflects the way you live and your house, the books you read, the art you have.
