Britishness is just a way of putting things together and a certain don't care attitude about clothes. You don't care, you just do it and it looks great.

I didn't do anything at the Queen, whom I admire.

I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.

What I remember as a child is that other kids didn't care about suffering. I always did.

When I was a little girl you used to learn to sew all the holes in things, darning socks, but nobody mends things anymore.

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.

At one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.
