I never think about age. I believe your age is totally how you feel. I've seen women of thirty-five who are old and people of seventy-five who are young. As long as I look after myself physically, mentally and emotionally, I'll stay young.

I don't believe in vitamin pills. I swear by men, darling-and as many as possible.

Certainly there are dozens of over-50 actresses who look great: Sophia Loren, Susan Sarandon, Ursula Andress, Stefanie Powers, Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden, Joanna Lumley, Linda Gray - the list is endless, and these are just the actresses! I have many friends in their 60s, 70s and 80s, not in the limelight, but who all look absolutely stunning.

I've always maintained that there is a very fine line between a daring, sexy older woman and mutton dressed as lamb.

Isn't three quarters of life a guilty pleasure?

So-called designer bags are useless, and most are also ugly, faddish and overpriced. Pared down and sleek is always best.

I'm a woman for all seasons. I mix 'n' match, do designer and high street - keep all my good pieces. I design all my evening and cocktail dresses most of the time as I dislike what is out there.
