It's good to talk to people and get ideas.

When I got pregnant, I became very interested in natural products. You wonder what you're putting on your skin when you're carrying a child.

I enjoyed studying costume, learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer.

I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my wedding - I had the flu and was stitching it from my bed. And the tulle came back from India all brown. We had to wash it for hours, but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.

New York is very career-orientated and it's hard to take time off here, but that is great for building a business.

I look much more civilized than I actually am.

I'm an enormous fan of Ron Howard. I mean, he's the most extraordinary director.
