“Before I became famous I used to think there’s no smoke without fire. But believe me, there can be a fire without smoke.”

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.

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!

As you well know, you just can’t believe everything you see and hear, can you?

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.

I believe that there’s something interesting about anyone and everyone – you just have to figure out what that something is.

When you believe in things that you don’t understand, then you suffer.

Ambition has to be joined with expectancy. A sense that you have a dream for yourself that you believe can happen.

Believe that you are bigger than your difficulties, for you are, indeed.

Pain is not wrong. Reacting to pain as wrong initiates the trance of unworthiness. The moment we believe something is wrong, our world shrinks and we lose ourselves in the effort to combat the pain.

On any day – in any given event – you have to believe in yourself and back yourself 100%
