I am a control freak. I am very hands on and pay attention to details.

When I started out in fashion, everything had to be very structured and tight and controlling, and now I'm getting to a point where I think - I could wear a great big parka, that could be quite fabulous. I haven't always got to show off my size, show off my shape. It's a turning point for me.

I tell you, the paparazzi would not be sitting outside if they realized I was the most boring person in Hollywood.

I'm not shy about asking the customer, because I want to talk about who she is and what she wants from me.

If in doubt, anything looks good with a white shirt.

I've been that celebrity on the red carpet, and I appreciate that something hasn't got to just look good from the front, from the back, it's got to look good at all angles.

I never try to follow a trend or fashion.
