My aesthetic is about simplicity, elegance, and comfort, whether that is interpreted in a man's suit or a track suit.

Being famous very often means sacrificing your privacy and that of others. You have to impose on those close to you a pace and lifestyle that might be a bigger sacrifice for others than it is for you.

I like to think that I can introduce people to the idea of simplicity and elegance.

If people want to change, they will. If they don't want to, it's hard to make them do so. The current interest in the environment is a good thing. The best way to make a contribution in fashion is to promote the idea that a fundamental interest in preserving the environment is itself fashionable.

I love things that age well - things that don't date, that stand the test of time and that become living examples of the absolute best.

It would be very hard for me to do things somebody else's way.

I started to take care of my body after I turned 50. I never liked how I looked physically because I was too cute, short, with coloring only on my cheeks, the perfect little nose, and then the blue eyes. But I would have preferred to have the look of a tough guy from the wrong side of town - one of those fascinatingly ugly looks.
