At the end of the day I separate things; my life is my life and my work is my work.

I think my mum was really very ahead of her time. She wore very little makeup. She really explored the way that she wore clothes in a very honest way. She wore a lot of vintage stuff and mixed it with bespoke men's tailoring and things like that. That was a huge influence on me, seeing a woman in the spotlight carry herself in that kind of way. But mostly, for me, it was just that she was an incredibly honest and sort of natural person.

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

I personally love sportswear, and love using it in high fashion.

I ride my bike, I work out, I do a bit of, er, dancey things.

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.

Most male painters have historically admired the female form. It's got a lot going for it.
