I am absolutely a free marketeer and I believe the creation of wealth is a good thing and anyone who doesn't really needs to have their head examined - otherwise where are we going to get the schools, the roads, the universities, the third runway, dare I say it?

I don't believe in retirement.

Our world is moving at an ever-accelerating pace, and with the advent of social media, what happens in New York now can be reported across the globe 60 seconds later.

I think fashion is the best value way, the most affordable way in the 21st century, that men and women can express their personality...

I am the largest market shareholder of clothing in the UK and I am not a destination shop for food. If the clothing market is affected - and it has been - and I hold my market share mathematically, then fine, I am doing no worse than the market is doing, which is exactly the case, but I'm losing revenue.

Customers want good value, but they care more than ever how food and clothing products are made.

I want to please every woman, every time.
