I have always loved trouser suits. It's something I absolutely believe in for women.

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.

It's not all about beauty! It's also about a sense of humor.

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.

Perfection does not exist - only God is perfect.

Fashion is magical, a fantasy. It's madness, and it doesn't last. It's changing all the time.

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.
