One of my fondest memories was when I was in London as a young, independent businesswoman and stayed at Claridge's. I knew I had made it. To me, Claridge's is the most glamourous hotel in the world; I regard it as my home away from home. I am honoured to become part of the hotel's legacy and rich design history.

I have always been a nomad and I have mastered the art of packing! I always say: pack lightly, live lightly.

The iPad! What is better designed than that? I read magazines on it, I play Scrabble. I use it for everything.

The biggest mistake a woman can make is not to be herself in public or private.

I don't care about fashion, I care about women.

It's very often true that some women look better without makeup, but that's only during the day.

It's the woman you should remember, not the dress, ever.
