People work better when they are afforded to be themselves

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.

As a designer I like to work with fabrics that don't bleed. That's why I avoid all animal skins.

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

I loved all those Doris Day visuals of her being a tomboy and then changing into this gorgeous girl in a ballgown.

We always had our own vegetables growing up and now I'm doing it with my kids at our house in the country.

It's incredibly important that if you have the dream of having your own house, you don't pretend to be something you're not. Ultimately, it's unsustainable and people will see through. You have to work; you can't expect your dreams to be handed to you on a plate.
