I'm not offended or embarrassed by the fact that I design clothes for women to wear. So when I meet women who love my clothes, it's a really good, straightforward thing. It makes me feel like I'm doing my job right.

It's not about what it looks like in the studio or on the runway. It's what it looks like on a real person that matters.

Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time.

Now, get out there and kick ass!

I get a real kick out of it, seeing people wear my designs.

It's not realistic to live in the country at this stage. I've got a business in London. I beat myself up about it all the time.

It's immoral that people make money out of writing crap, but I try not to obsess about it. I don't want to spend my life being angry.
