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.

The first painting that I realised I liked was 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' by Hieronymus Bosch, when I was six years old, at the Prado in Madrid. I still find myself returning there every time I'm in the city.

British and American women have very different styles and a different way of living.

Perfection does not exist - only God is perfect.

If you date someone who isn't very good-looking but makes you laugh, you will never forget it.

It's important to find what really suits who you are, because style isn't only what you wear, it's what you project.

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.
