Nostalgia is a very complicated subject for me. I'm attracted by nostalgia but I refuse it intellectually.

With women, the more unhappy they are, the more undressed they are.

The power of the media is really the only new issue in the last 50 years, probably.

The process of a date, I think, is terrible. Horrible. Because everything is banal and predicted.

Women have the stress of being beautiful, of age and youth. Men don't have all that. And with women, that stress causes a lot of mistakes and bad choices - a lot of not being their true self.

I once tried to make lace - which has been a great obsession of women - unsexy. And I achieved it.

I was a feminist in the Sixties, and can you imagine? The worst thing I could have done was to be in fashion. It was the most uncomfortable position.
