I don't understand people getting depressed about getting older. There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it.

For me, getting older doesnt mean throwing away a favourite-coloured lipstick or a fabulous pair of boots; instead, its about harnessing all the great things I have learnt over the years about what does and doesnt suit me, and enjoying the way in which cleverly selected outfits can enhance the nice bits.

Ageing doesn't mean giving up on style and individuality; it doesn't mean abandoning fashion and living in comfy slippers and flannel knickers.

I want to continue to try and break the barrier between male and female.

If you just say nothing, there is no way they can make you talk.

I've always loved life, and I've never known what's ahead. I love not knowing what might be round the corner. I love serendipity.

If I want to calm down, I'll buy some fabric, get a pattern, shut myself in a room and stay there for days, really happy. And at the end of it, you get a bedspread or some curtains or something to wear - it's lovely.
