More quotes by Daphne Guinness
I think life is about having the mixture of the curiosity of an older person and the imagination of a child.
Daphne Guinness
I'd quite like to have one place where I stay put. And I don't like living in cities all the time. In order to have ideas, you have to have some peace and quiet.
Daphne Guinness
I really don't understand the idea of a celebrity stylist. Is it a real job? I know there's unemployment, but frankly the railways need to be fixed, too.
Daphne Guinness
I really try to understand what people are saying and answer as honestly as I can. But sometimes it's like they try to tie you into knots. That's why I mostly steer clear of the popular press. I try not to read . . . Well, I never read gossip press. I just read books. And I never switch on the TV any more.

Memories are like mercury. Every time you sort of try to get near them, they slip out of your hand like a bar of soap.
Daphne Guinness
I can't understand it when people are closed-minded. I mean, boy, have I made mistakes and been very wrong. I can't tell you the amounts of times I've been let down, but I still try to see the best in people.

But things don't necessarily have to be that expensive to be good. As long as they are expensive enough to last.
Daphne Guinness
I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.
Daphne Guinness
Everyone thought I was going to fall down on my shoes and I kept saying, 'Well if I do I'll just get up!'
Daphne Guinness
I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That's not me at all.
Daphne Guinness
Fragrance takes you on a journey of time. You can walk down the street and pass someone and get taken back 20 years. It's very Proustian that way.
Daphne Guinness
I treat clothing or a piece of jewelry like it was a piece of art.
Daphne Guinness
Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.
Daphne Guinness
I play piano and I sing. But I do that for fun. I mean, I do everything for fun.
Daphne Guinness
Eccentric is a difficult word because it's come to mean crazy. Avant-garde would be better. Eccentric is not centric in terms of having a center. Because sometimes it's used in a derogatory context.
Daphne Guinness
I spend a lot of time upside down. It increases the blood flow to the brain, so it really helps your creativity.
Daphne Guinness
We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty.
