I do think one should have clean feet.

I think Lucy Ferry, now Birley, is absolutely beautiful. She's a modern girl, but she moves beautifully. Amanda [Harlech] moves beautifully when she's not working. All those English leftover society girls.

I get more tired by travelling than anything.

What is fashion? It's discipline. Discipline and a credo to do only the best, down to the smallest detail.

The greatest luxury is being free.

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.

I've never been tempted to do these hideous furniture shoes.
