Fashion never stops. There is always the new project, the new opportunity.

We always know better than anybody else what looks best on us. Even if people are complimenting you, if you think, 'I hate what I have on,' it's not right.
Feeling good about yourself and your life is very important. I'm a happy woman, happy with my husband, my daughters, my grandchildren. We all get along quite well, and that keeps me centered.
In general, fashion is challenging. Everything from clothes to fragrances.
I didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me.
When I was living in Los Angeles, I always booked a moisturizing milk-and-honey massage the day before flying to Spain. It was heaven - I never got dry plane skin or felt stiff from sitting in one position.

Attention to detail is of utmost importance when you want to look good.
My family - my husband, my daughters, my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, all of them - are the most important thing in the world to me.
Life is hard. It is not too short, it is too long. But you have to learn how to live; you have to have a sense of humour.
Thank God my hair is always the same. And I get dressed very quickly. I am not one of those people who spend three hours getting dressed. I never understood that. What do you do for the two and a half hours after the half hour it takes you to get ready?
When you live and work in different time zones, you spend a lot of time on airplanes.
It's important to find what really suits who you are, because style isn't only what you wear, it's what you project.
I was brought up with considerable discipline, and I was taught it wasn't proper to display certain very private emotions in public.
Age is something only in your head or a stereotype. Age means nothing when you are passionate about something.
I'm not going to say that I'm perfect. I do have fashion crises.
Most people travel with a good book, but I also keep my agenda with me; I'll flip through the pages and take a few moments to organize my life a little - I rarely get the time to do this normally.
I don't get my inspiration from books or a painting. I get it from the women I meet.
