At one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.

I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly.

I think it's important to vote.

There is so much that people take for granted.

When I was a little girl you used to learn to sew all the holes in things, darning socks, but nobody mends things anymore.

I've always felt heroic about my life... As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn't think that was the case at all. My parents didn't treat me as a girl.

What I'm always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.
