“I obviously don’t feel under pressure to look young, because I have had no Botox or surgery. I don’t judge people who choose to have it, but I don’t want to erase who I am.”

Some fairy tales end with the girl marrying the prince some start there.

You know, there’s a thing about the woman across the room. You see the woman across the room, you think, She’s so poised; she’s so together. But she looks at you and you are the woman across the room for her.

Attitude is everything.

Usually, the fairy tale ends with the girl marrying the prince. But mine started as soon as the marriage was over.

The relationship that counts most in my life is the one I have with myself. I have a great, great, great relationship with myself, and it gets better and better as I get older. The other day, I was talking to Barry in the car and I said, ‘I’m so glad I’m me!’

I design for the woman who loves being a woman.

Don’t talk about your diet. It’s just boring, and the last thing you need when dieting is to be considered boring.

I don’t care about fashion, I care about women.

Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good.

My best friend is me, and I take good care of me.

I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I always knew the woman I wanted to be.

It’s like learning to fall properly. If you can manage not to tighten up you won’t hurt yourself as much. The same theory applies to your day, physically and emotionally. The tensions simply can’t take hold.

I am a traveler. I am a nomad. I rarely sleep in the same bed more than three or four nights. And I know hotel life better than anyone.

I wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life – and I became that woman.
