I never had a fondness for gems or the extravagance of Harry Winston or Van Cleef & Arpels. I've always liked the more flamboyant, imaginative things. I lusted after costume jewelry. My husband was a very lucky man.

If you don’t learn constantly, you don’t grow and you will wither. Too many people wither on the vine. Sure, it gets a little harder as you get older, but new experiences and new challenges keep it fresh.

I was never hurt by what anybody said about my clothes, because I dress to please myself. If somebody doesn’t like what I’m wearing, it’s their problem, not mine

You can't just say, I'm gonna have style. You have to work at it. It's intuitive some people have it, and some people can work on it all day long, and it will never happen.

Fashion you can buy, but style you possess.

In my view you can't go to the future if you haven't come from the past.

Style means you have a real curiosity about yourself and then you express it. Having style is not copying somebody else.

I don't think dressing has anything to do with numbers. I know people of 30 who act like they're 97, and I have a few old-bag friends who are very hip.

Technologically I live in the 17th century. I have a very simple cell phone. I say I live through the kindness of strangers, because if they see something on the Net they type it out and send it to me.

When you're older, no matter how good your humor is you don't always feel perky and peppy. But if you sit home all day and brood about it, it gets worse.

You're not pretty, and you'll never be pretty. But, it doesn't matter. You have something much better. You have style.
