I've always liked my clothes, even before I could properly afford them. Clothes for me were never a cloak, a cover. They were how I chose to express myself.

You have to keep challenging yourself. I've always tried to do that, and I'm not saying I've always been successful. Maybe I've rewritten the same song; it's inevitable, but I've always been mindful of taking the writing somewhere else. You can't stick in your little comfort zone.

In my world [of fashion] there's more things that kind of affect it. There's the retailers we do business with, our own stores, my merchandising team... Everybody has opinions, and so you definitely have to filter through a lot.

Sometimes you're ahead of the game and sometimes people don't get it and that's just one of those things you have to accept and carry on.

You do your runway show, and it's all over the Internet before I see anything on there.

If we get through for two minutes only it will be a start!

I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago.
