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.

I've never really had a waist. Even when I was at my slimmest, my silhouette was very straight up, straight down. But I have learnt how to give myself a bit of waist by optical illusion. For this, bring on the belts.

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 special occasions, I love pretty dresses - but nothing too frou-frou!

I ate like a horse when I was younger, and not very sensibly, though no one ever believes that.

The sixties were a time when ordinary people could do extraordinary things . . . !

It's hard to see how anyone can fail to care about innocent children and animals being blown up by landmines.
