I only like boutiques.

I love Dickens because it makes me chuckle to myself so. He has taken me to another world and out of so many earthly miseries.

I know what it's like to have someone coming home who looks at you not in the way they used to in the old days, and I've seen my own face contorted with sadness and rage in the mirror.

I didn't really think of myself as being a muse.

Robert Louis Stevenson... I'm focusing on the late short stories that I was ignorant of. I always thought he was a boys' author, but he's not at all.

My look is a cocktail. I'm not as nicely turned out as the french, but I don't care like the English.

I don't know why people keep banging on about the '60s. I was very conventional because I came from a conventional family and I didn't go off with different people - I rather wish I had now, seeing all the fun everyone else was having.
