“I don’t want to be made to look like I’m 25. I’m 39. I don’t have any issues with my age.”

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 want to reach as many women throughout the world as I can.

I don’t believe anyone who says they don’t care what people say about them. Of course they bloody well do.

I can’t concentrate in flats.

I enjoy the spring more than the autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older.

You will never age for me, nor fade, nor die.

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

Madness is something rare in individuals – but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages, it is the rule.

Look at the bright side no matter how old you are, you are younger than you’ll ever be again.

A man’s age is something impressive, it sums up his life.

With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.

We are the heirs of the ages.
