I love the shape of cars. They are very inspiring as modern pieces of machinery. I can't drive, but I do like the look of them.

I think and hope I have changed the way we look at hats. They are no longer symbols of conformity but highly individual acts of rebellion. I am constantly challenging the perception of what a hat should be and what role it should play.

I'm Irish but I design something that is quintessentially English and I love hats.

It thrills observers and makes the wearer feel a million dollars.

I believe in a democratic approach to fashion: if you feel good, then great. You may not look good, but it's not the problem.

Every day, I like to make hats that make people dream.

I always design the hat with the wearer in mind; otherwise, it's an inanimate object.
