Something I really hate more than anything else is clogs.

I hate the idea of natural. For example, I prefer gardens to wild nature. I like to see the human touch. High heels are a complete invention - an extravagance. They're far from natural, but it's the impracticality that I adore. I prefer the useless to the useful, the sophisticated to the natural.

I mean, the shoe - there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it's a movement.

These heels are candy for the feet; they’re for pleasure, not practicality.

A good host is someone who really takes care of everyone, from the food to their daily programme. I can't.

When a woman puts on a heel, she has a different posture, a different attitude. She really stands up and has a consciousness of her body.

I remain faithful to bourbon sour. It's absolutely delicious. You'd have to ask a bartender what's in it, but I think if you know you might never have a drink. I also love a little rum, 7 years aged, brown, when it is chilly, before dinner.
