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

All that self-expression has just created a generation of morons, hooked on an endless appetite for rubbish.

I don't have space to enter into the examples or the history of this, so I'm left with having to make the bold statement that culture is extinct.

Home, more than anything, means warmth and bed.

I have a company, and I've got to think about that. I'm trying to do my best there, and that's a much harder task. We recycle as much as possible, and we conserve. But I've always been one to save everything - I even walk up stairs on the very inside or the very outside to not wear out the tread.

But, having a perfume and license, in general, is a financial necessity. A designer must, to reap back the money spent on prototypes and all that sort of thing.

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.
