Style means you have a real curiosity about yourself and then you express it. Having style is not copying somebody else.

The fun of getting dressed is it's a creative experience.

I think that if you have to work very hard at dressing up and it makes you nervous or uptight, then you won't look very well because you won't be comfortable. I think it's much better to be comfortable and happy than well dressed, don't you?

You have to observe a few simple rules in dressing, which are really not rules; it's just being appropriate. If you're 70 and want to wear miniskirts, 70-year-old knees ain't pretty!

When you don't dress like everybody else, you don't have to think like everybody else.

I never had a fondness for gems or the extravagance of Harry Winston or Van Cleef & Arpels. I've always liked the more flamboyant, imaginative things. I lusted after costume jewelry. My husband was a very lucky man.

I think fashion is just part of my life and if it hadn't been fashion then it would have been something else.
