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

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.

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.

The goodness of God is the highest object of prayer and it reaches down to our lowest need.

That one man scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star.

Sometimes you must reach beyond yourself to reach yourself within yourself.

You knew me. You knew that person, but you don’t know the person I’m trying to become… You are not your past!

The limitless loving devotion to God, and the gift God makes of Himself to you, are the highest elevation of which the heart is capable; it is the highest degree of prayer. The souls that have reached this point are truly the heart of the Church.

I think when you begin to think of yourself as having achieved something, then there’s nothing left for you to work towards. I want to believe that there is a mountain so high that I will spend my entire life striving to reach the top of it.

Grand strategy is the art of looking beyond the present battle and calculating ahead. Focus on your ultimate goal and plot to reach it.

The trance of unworthiness keeps the sweetness of belonging out of reach. The path to “the sweetness of belonging,” is acceptance – acceptance of ourselves and acceptance of others without judgment.
