I say, dress to please yourself. Listen to your inner muse and take a chance. Wear something that says 'Here I am!' today.

I had to be my own person and live my own life if I wanted to be happy, and I just did it.

I've always been attracted to unusual eyewear. I thought glasses were an interesting accessory, depending on the shape of your face. People would always ask me, "Why are your frames so large?" And I would say, "The bigger to see you!" And that shut them up.

My mother gave me very good advice years ago. I grew up in the Great Depression and she always told me to get a good little basic black dress - well-cut, well-made, good fabric - and it could take me through everything. I could go to the office in the morning and stay out all day in the same dress. Just by changing accessories, because they are so transformative, you can make six different outfits. I find that very useful. My mother worshipped at the altar of accessories and I'm an accessory freak, as everybody knows. That, I got from my mother.

I think if women put some more of the time and money they put on their heads in their heads, they’d be better off.

I’m a great believer in common sense, and the older I get I see that common sense is not that common

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