My most treasured clothing item is first suit that I made - acid green. It was disgusting, but I love it. It's been mended a million times, but I still wear it.

I'm going to do what I do, even more exaggerated. This is my attitude always. I don't betray myself at all.

I love exaggerated, and I love eccentric, but you must be comfortable. Otherwise it is nonsense. There is nothing charming about a woman who cannot walk in her shoes.

The only people that come to my mind in the last years are Lee McQueen and John Galliano. Truly, truly . . . How do I say? Full of ideas. Full of the smell. They just had this incredible passion for what they did.

It was a different social structure. I'd go to [David] Bailey's for dinner at 10:30. There were always girls there and a house full of . . . I don't know, anybody. Cecil Beaton, Diana Cooper . . . And there I am sitting down with these creatures of the 20th century, and it was normal to us.

I'm totally twisted. Instead of, Oh god, I don't have platforms - they won't like me, I was much more, I'm doing what I'm doing, and if you don't want to buy it, then don't buy, but that's just what I'm gonna do. It gave me strength. It worked for me.
