I've always loved life, and I've never known what's ahead. I love not knowing what might be round the corner. I love serendipity.

If you just say nothing, there is no way they can make you talk.

I eat healthily because that's the way I prefer to eat, and I'm sure it helps keep the weight off.

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

It is no longer acceptable to ignore the suffering, and designers must take responsibility for the way that their fur is produced.

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.

Fashion should be stylish and fun.

The 40s onwards are when we can really begin to enjoy ourselves. For many women, this is when everything comes together, and they look better than ever. The great thing about getting older is you don't have to do/wear/say anything you don't want to. It wasn't until my very late 30s that I stopped worrying about what other people thought.

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

For me, getting older doesnt mean throwing away a favourite-coloured lipstick or a fabulous pair of boots instead, its about harnessing all the great things I have learnt over the years about what does and doesnt suit me, and enjoying the way in which cleverly selected outfits can enhance the nice bits.

Fluted sleeves or any sleeve that flares out before coming in again at the wrist are very feminine and a great way to distract from the dreaded 'bingo wings.'

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

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

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

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?

Even if your bosoms are your best asset, deep round-neck or scoop-neck Ts can be too revealing. Offset this flash of gorgeousness by covering up your arms with a little cardi that has sleeves to the elbow.

Christianity, like most religions, works with fear. Sins can be confessed and you are 'Clean again' and can start to sin again without thinking about your old sins. We believe that people should ask themselves why they sinned. They should show some responsibility.

I don't understand people getting depressed about getting older. There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it.
