There's just something about women and shoes, it's the luxury, it's the femininity and it's the attention to detail. You can put a lot of work into your dress but if you have the right shoe and bag then you feel good.

I want to be tested beyond my comfort zone. I don't want to be safe if it is more interesting to be dangerous.

I think love is the core emotion. Without that, and I've certainly existed without that, it's a very empty life.

Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I'm very medical. I come from a medical family.

Since I have fair skin, I have to stay out of the sun. I can't stand the sun. I dyed my hair red for a while during the 1990s but I'm actually a natural blonde.

The accumulation of experience gives you a debt in terms of compassion. I am very fortunate, and I feel dedicated to giving back to other women. Wherever I am now, I make sure I visit a women's shelter. But I don't want to do it in a frivolous way.

The journey of life - we all go through it: You have love, you lose love, you find new love. To have love again is a beautiful thing.
