Being a grown-up woman doesn't mean you can't look beautiful, individual and different.

Always be natural. Putting on airs will make a giggle out of you. Be yourself and if you don't know something say so.

Confusion is the best form of communication. It's left to be unexplained.

What happened to me in the Sixties was so major and so worldwide and so huge, there's no way I can repeat it. But in a way, I had nothing to do with it, it just took me over. It was bizarre, it was weird, and I had no control over it. I don't think anyone could have planned what happened to me.

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.

At sixteen, I was a funny, skinny little thing, all eyelashes and legs. And then, suddenly people told me it was gorgeous. I thought they had gone mad.

I used to be a thing I'm a person now.

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

My weakness is chocolate - especially butterscotch and nut varieties.

We want to raise the children the parents aren't raising. I think we want to press individuality on people, though that doesn't necessarily mean being like us. But, it doesn't mean that if you come dressed like us that you aren't being yourself.

The trick is to find the style that is right for you. When it comes to trying new clothes, my advice is not to take it too seriously - it's all about having fun.

You won't often find me in a pair of killer heels: my heel height doesn't rise above two and a half inches, as I would just fall over!

Image
If I want to calm down, I'll buy some fabric, get a pattern, shut myself in a room and stay there for days, really happy. And at the end of it, you get a bedspread or some curtains or something to wear - it's lovely.

I want to continue to try and break the barrier between male and female.

Image
I like to get on with people. I don't go around being nasty, but if someone crosses me, I can be horrible back.

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

I love exercise but I find it boring doing the same thing all the time, so I fluctuate between going to the gym, doing Pilates and taking dance lessons.

Being young isn't about age, it's about being a free spirit. You can meet someone of 20 who's boring and old, or you can meet someone of 70 who's youthful and exciting. I met Fred Astaire when he was 72 and I was 21, and I fell in love with him. He certainly was a free spirit.

I am very sad that some designers are still using real fur when the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable.
