I think living is serious. Living well, accepting yourself, using your talents to the fullest, enjoying yourself, that's all serious and important...But I think makeup and fashion should not be taken that seriously...You should have fun making up for a party. You should have fun wearing a sexy dress. When you're beautiful it should give you pleasure.

In all circumstances, I always look for the light and build around it, with little memory of pain.

Aging is out of your control. How you handle it, though, is in your hands.

I never try to make a major fashion statement but I want to be the friend in a woman's closet. I make dresses that women get laid in.

We need to encourage designers and agencies to be responsible. We need to make sure everyone is sensitive to the issues. But to calculate the girls' body mass - I personally think it is demeaning.

My best creation is my children.

It's not about going to a party. It's life as a party.
