“I spent the whole summer with my boobs out, breastfeeding. I loved it. It was heaven.”

What do you wear on a running machine? I can’t bring myself to wear flat shoes.

I was never a natural. I got there in the end because I did believe that if you work hard enough, then you can achieve a lot.

When I’m lying in bed I think about the next collection. That makes me sound insane, doesn’t it? That I’m getting into bed with David Beckham and thinking about clothes.

My children and my husband make me smile. My work makes me smile.

I’ve always been a worker. I’ve never expected be given anything.

My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes. Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore. And who’d have thought I’d be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!

I am a control freak. I am very hands on and pay attention to details.

It’s not healthy to be jealous.

Some wedges are great but you can look like your feet are encased in cement.

And while everybody was busy laughing, what was I doing? I was laying the foundation to what I have in place now.

My aim is to create the perfect dress!

I have no intention of ever working with the (Spice) girls again.

It’s such an old-fashioned attitude to make people feel like they’re not good enough for your clothes. That’s so negative and so old-fashioned and wrong.

I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

Just as I love women, I love gay men. I always say it: inside me there is a gay man who wants to come out.

Red is a strong, happy, optimistic color, and I like having fun with it, you know? Like, when colors clash – I love that strangeness.

I go through life like a karate kid.

There are two things children should get from their parents: roots and wings.

For all my love little monsters I am your mom you are my child in my hand i protect you like my eyes but don’t worry I’ll catch you if you fall.

European children starved and watched their parents scheme and die. Here we grew up with toy whips. Early warning against our future leaders, the war babies.

Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying, too zealously, to make it easy for them.

Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as a secret to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.

I treat my heart like a sick child and gratify its every fancy.

Adults follow paths. Children explore.
