I only saw one collection of Victoria Beckham, and I thought it was very much like Pierre Cardin or Marcel Rochas dresses. She's thought about it, and she knows what she wants. And people buy it, so that means she works. She has this incredible will power to do something that she likes to do. And I love that. I respect that.

Maintenance is terribly important.

Everything is global now. It's not London, it's not Spain, it's not Italy - everything is everywhere. So you have to be everywhere, I guess.

I'm an old bag - I like old things.

I don't know why my shoes are so popular - I am always surprised and mystified by it.

A lot of things trigger my inspiration. It can be the most banal things.

I don't like very young women very much. Never did.
