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

In Italy they take cheap cloth and make it look expensive, but I take expensive cloth and make it look cheap. They just don't understand.

I'm frugal. I'm not a very acquisitive woman. I never waste food. If you prepare your own food, you engage with the world, it tastes alive. It tastes good.

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

Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It's always sexy, and it's always with the same result: making women look fantastic.

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.

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