You can have small moments of happiness in life. You certainly can’t expect years and years of it.

People are always surprised when they spend time with my children by how normal they are. They're polite. They're well mannered. They're very down to earth, in a way.

I was a fashion addict by the time I was 11 years old. I'd wear a miniskirt and patent-leather boots.

I always wear high heels - I simply feel naked without them.

If I could dress anyone, I'd like to dress the Queen - she can handle anything. I'd put her in black - she never wears black - and add a little leather, maybe. A little rock n' roll.

It would be very easy for us to do a collection that everybody would like and not criticize. But criticism is a part of life. You have to take it.

Just like music evokes emotion, so can garments.
