Vivienne Westwood
Home, more than anything, means warmth and bed.

Vivienne Westwood
The fight is no longer between the classes or between rich and poor but between the idiots and the eco-conscious.
Vivienne Westwood
I've always felt heroic about my life... As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn't think that was the case at all. My parents didn't treat me as a girl.
