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.

You feel like everyone hates you if you've got a good life, now I feel maybe it's allowed because I've had my share of sadness.

I´m a real believer that just doing a little something is a lot better than doing a lot of nothing.

I used to get embarrassed about the fact I liked fashion. I still get a bit cringy.

Someone from Manolo Blahnik went into my shop and said: 'These shoes are not vegetarian.' That's the highest compliment, because you just can't tell that they are, and they are. My mum taught me to have a soul.

I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.

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