I think you're born with style, but you have to develop it. You can be born with the talent to be an opera star, but you've got to work and practice it.

Humor is important in everything. Dress with a little humor and you can go a long way.

If you don't have any individuality and you're happy just being one of the girls (or boys) be my guest. I'm not the fashion police. I won't fault you.

Style is attitude, attitude, attitude!

When you're older, no matter how good your humor is you don't always feel perky and peppy. But if you sit home all day and brood about it, it gets worse.

I don't believe in rules. It's different for everybody. Everyone has to make their own decision and find out what's comfortable for them.

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.
