I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.

The most erotic zone is the imagination.

I'm frugal. I'm not a very acquisitive woman. I never waste food. If you prepare your own food, you engage with the world, it tastes alive. It tastes good.

More people should read books. It's the most concentrated experience you can have.

I'm different from any other designer, businesswise, in that I've built this company up and I own it. I never had business hype behind me to promote my image... My image is real... I have never had marketing people telling me what to do.

I like the Chinese proverb: If a horse is yours, it will always come back!

There is so much that people take for granted.
