“I love what I do professionally, I’m really blessed. But my priority is my husband and my children.”

I was an okay singer. I was an okay dancer. But acting? Never could do it.

I consider all of my pieces to be investment pieces. A dress shouldn’t be worn for one season – you should be able to wear it year after year.

I like a man who can be a real friend, has a good sense of humor, a good pair of shoes and a healthy gold card.

I want my kids to have a good work ethic. I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.

I become quite obsessive when I get into something.

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!

See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance , or some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation – to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.

The voice thing is a blessing that I was given. I’ve had opportunities to do voice work of all kinds. It was something that was given to me and I was able to make good use of it.

I wasn’t blessed with a healthy childhood self esteem but now that I have built it up by myself it’s even stronger.

Ask God to show you His plans, not bless your dreams

Grace is when you should be totally punished but are blessed for no reason.

The idea that God is a worthy recipient of our gratitude for the blessings of life but should not be held accountable for the disasters is a transparently disingenuous innovation of the theologians.

When I count other people’s blessings I lose sight of mine.

When life is hard it’s easy to focus only on the bad things and forget all about the good things God has given us. But God has blessed every one of us in ways we often overlook.
