I always let other people describe me because if I describe myself you will not understand.

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

Sometimes I'm a psychiatrist and I tell people in my office that my door is open, and if they have a problem to come and talk to me. Sometimes I say, "I have to close the door because I don't want to hear it!"

I didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me.

You can't wait for people to tell you; you have to know yourself.

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