If you're a little hippy and full-bosomed, don't try to remake yourself in the image of a skinny fashion model. It won't work. You can trim down your hips. You should always concentrate on special movements to keep your breasts firm and lifted and young. Hippy and bosomy can be very nice, very desirable. Accept it.

It's more than just a dress; it's a spirit. The wrap dress was an interesting cultural phenomenon, and one that has lasted 30 years. What is so special about it is that it's actually a very traditional form of clothing. It's like a toga, it's like a kimono, without buttons, without a zipper. What made my wrap dresses different is that they were made out of jersey and they sculpted the body.

I wanted to be a certain kind of woman. I became that kind of woman.

When I was young, I lived like an old woman, and when I got old, I had to live like a young person.

You know I have never met a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.

New York seemed as young as I was and infinitely hospitable.

Just don't go to a place where everything is too expensive... it'll put your husband in a bad mood.
