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.

The orb came about because I wanted to do this kitsch sweater for Prince Charles when he went hunting and fishing with his kilt on.

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

Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin' hymns is a great thing to do.

The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.

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.

My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor.
