A business woman needs a successful mix of design and practicality.

I love anyone who breaks the rules, and musicians always break the rules - in an aggressive way.

I have worked with wool all my life as a designer. There's so much more to it than knitwear - it's an amazingly versatile material and can be used in so many different ways from chic to rustic.

Giving up my heels was harder than giving up the drugs.

The early '90s were an especially marvelous period for fashion, because it was the peak of glamour and there were no limits as to what you could do.

My main influence is - it's music. It lifts the spirit. I am always listening to music. And sometimes what inspires me is a little sound or some small arrangement. I really do listen to music continuously all day long - very loud, so people can't stand to be around me anymore.

I was always crazy even before the drugs.
