“I can live with my own mistakes. I can’t live with anybody else’s.”

I’m still me even after all that’s happened.

I read once that elegance is a privilege of age. I thought, that’s so true. You get more comfortable with yourself as you get older.

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.

The stories we love best do live in us forever.

I wish I could live inside my dreams with you together forever.

I don’t do things for the response or the controversy. I just live my life.

What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven’t even happened yet.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Attention is something I’ve learned to ignore. This is what I do: I live my life and they document it.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.
