If there was a choice on spending a lot of money on accessories or dress, I always chose accessories. I think jewelry can change an outfit more than anything else.

Jewelry is the most transformative thing you can wear.

If you're lucky enough to get old, I think you should celebrate it.

I do have a dominant shopping gene but, unlike a reasonable person, I never plan for what I need each season. I enjoy the thrill of the hunt, the discovery and the endless search. In another creation I was, perhaps, a hunter/gatherer. After all these years, I’ve learned that it’s not the end result or finished product but the process I most enjoy. If my experimenting, searching and juxtaposing turns into an exciting outfit well, it’s just a big fat bonus!

I'm delighted that gay people want to get married and I say why not! It's nobody's business and I would happily give my blessing.

Coco Chanel said take one thing off. I always said put another one on.
