Sometimes I can't believe I'm going to be 60. I always say there's no point moaning about getting older, when there's nothing you can do about it. But still, I do find it quite funny. I look at that number, 60, and I think, really? Me?

Life is about making choices: you can either spend three quid on a glossy magazine or you can spend it clearing three square metres of minefield and help give people their lives back. As simple as that.

The sixties were a time when ordinary people could do extraordinary things . . . !

I've never really had a waist. Even when I was at my slimmest, my silhouette was very straight up, straight down. But I have learnt how to give myself a bit of waist by optical illusion. For this, bring on the belts.

[On her thinness:] It's not what you'd call a figure, is it?

I used to do my own make-up. I used to have this doll that had those big eyelashes on the top and bottom, and I think I copied her when I was doing my eyes, putting false eyelashes on the bottom as well as the top. So I came up with that look myself.

There's no need to dress like everyone else. It's much more fun to create your own look.

I think everyone should sing - it's so good for you, as it makes you breathe deeply, and it's good for you emotionally, too. It's a brilliant release way of lifting the spirits.

I love flat shoes, more so than heels. One of my obsessions is men's co-respondent lace-ups.

I’m just mad for San Francisco. It is like London and Paris stacked on top of each other.

Knitwear can play a vital part in layering. The simplicity of a lightweight cardigan makes it one of the best ways to layer outfits. I love granddad cardis for winter, worn over a vintage lace shirt, waistcoat and full skirt with slouchy boots.

It's hard to see how anyone can fail to care about innocent children and animals being blown up by landmines.

Wearing a bold print gets harder as you get older. Its safer to stick to subtle prints or block colours. I have always found prints quite tricky. My daughter Carly, who is on the design team at Stella McCartney, is obsessed with them.

I was very, very underdeveloped for my age, I hated what I looked like, so I thought everyone had gone stark raving mad.

For special occasions, I love pretty dresses - but nothing too frou-frou!
