I was so upset with what was going on in the world. I just couldn't stand the idea of being people tortured and that we even had such a thing as war. I hated the older generation, who had not done anything about it. Punk was a call-to-arms for me.

In history people dressed much better than we do today.

Prince Charles is definitely my hero; he uses his position to do only good in this world.

It is not possible for a man to be elegant without a touch of femininity.

My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.

Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.

I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.
