My mother knew if you bought a couple of really good architectural outfits and put your money into accessories, you could create a million different looks. She taught that to me, which I think was invaluable.

The biggest mistake people are making when it comes to fashion is looking in the mirror and thinking you're somebody else. People sit and watch the runway and then some nice little plump lady in Squeedunk will see Angelina Jolie in a very glamorous dress from the runway and she thinks if she buys that dress she'll look like her. It's sad, but it's true.

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.

In my view you can't go to the future if you haven't come from the past.

I'm not going to be a rebel and offend anybody, but I'm not going to live in somebody else's image.

It's not easy to know who you are and it's very painful and takes a lot of time and that is why a lot of people don't want to put in the effort.

There are absolutely no rules about style at all. Not for me.
