I was born in 1928 and by 1931 the Depression was beginning to mount.

Mary Quant is my favourite fashion designer.

When I was about 10 I ran away to see my father. He couldn't have cared less. He just took me back as soon as he could.

It's okay saying sorry, but when you are drunk you say what you really feel.

I came home after a year and although my profession was only hairdressing, I knew I could change it.

So I was shampooing at 14. But I've always thought that had I the opportunity for an education, I would have been an architect. There's no question about it.

Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn't have time to sit under the dryer.
