I always tried to do things by example, even though I was not a very good mother regarding routines and family life.

My children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded. I gave them a lot of freedom when they were still very young. The one thing they got from me is morals. They would never betray anyone. They are really good people.

Liverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion; they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.

The muscular, athletic type is not representative of the human race, who are varied in their physique.

I don't watch television and I rarely go to the cinema, but I recently watched 'The King's Speech' on a flight. It was so beautiful and so simple.

Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.

Fashion has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.
