When people ask how have I kept on top, I have to say with the help of every photographer, make-up artist and hairdresser I've ever worked with.
Obviously you can't please everyone. I'm sure some people say, 'Bloody old Len Goodman gets on my nerves.'
I am a little bit of a softie, yes. Actually I don't think it's softness, I think it's kindness.
We are not just Art for Michelangelo to carve, he can't rewrite the agro of my furied heart- Lady Gaga 10/22/10
The wisest advice I ever received regarding the kitchen came from my mother: 'Do the dishes while you're cooking.'
I'm not an easy customer. My attention to detail could probably drive you mad. My eye still always goes toward the single flaw.
I was worried that in London I would be judged for who I know rather than what I do. In New York, I am known for fashion.
Lady, I do not make up things. That is lies. Lies are not true. But the truth could be made up if yo know how. And that's the truth.
Any company of my size cannot live without thinking it's possible to go public one day.
Herve has that sex appeal. Certain bodies need Herve Leger badly because you have to reformulate the silhouette.
I do some concerts. At the moment, I'm being helped a lot by a gig I play in London, which is Pizza Express.
My main influences have always been the classic jazz players who sang, like Louis Armstrong and Nat King Cole and Jack Teagarden.
Then I started listenin' a lot to classical composers. Piano works. Just to see what they were doin'. That sort of put me in a different groove to try to blend all that in.
There's a few tunes of mine that don't have jokes, but most of them have a joke and they have a humorous point of view somewhere.
To mankind in general Macbeth and Lady Macbeth stand out as the supreme type of all that a host and hostess should not be.
As when, O lady mine, With chiselled touch The stone unhewn and cold Becomes a living mould, The more the marble wastes, The more the statue grows.
One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.
Even if you love a lady, don't say you will take care of her while someone else is catering for your needs.
For me it's all about keeping things simple and feeling comfortable in what I am wearing. I prefer investing in classic well-tailored pieces.
I always feel like a woman designing for a woman. I know what you want to accentuate and what you want to hide.
If you want to play it safe, mix a lot of colors in the same tone and that is such an easy way to feel modern and feel a little confident.
