My clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body - they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman.

I don't think punk fashion is a specter or overemphasized - it made a big impression, as there had never been anything like it before.

I tend not to like an awful lot of what is going out under my name now because it is just all product. Who needs it?

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.

The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas.

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

When I'm in the street, the only people I notice are usually at least 70 years old, because they look really stylish.
