“I never try to follow a trend or fashion.”

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!

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

I get extensions, but when they start to get spotty, I go buy wispy lashes and cut them up. I put them where the gaps are when I don’t have time to get a fill.

Don’t let some random comment that you wouldn’t have even thought about overshadow something important that you were actually trying to say.

With social media, the gatekeepers are our followers. It has opened so many doors for me not only musically, but fashion-wise as well.

The way I dress and carry myself, a lot of people find it intimidating. I think my whole career can be boiled down to the one word I always say in meetings: strength.

I have over a hundred wigs, I like to change them damn near every hour.

It’s cool to go into the simplicity of fashion, but I’m a very colorful person.

I’m normally getting glammed for my events and when I can give my skin a break, I do.

I’ve always fantasized about wedding gowns. And it’s not because of marriage.
