I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.

Elegance is the balance between PROPORTION, EMOTION & SURPRISE.

I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.

Only wear clothes that make you feel alive.

When I entertain at home, I take time and pleasure in the small details that make all the difference. Entertaining is about giving to people and sharing with them.

I am like a freight train. Working on the details, twisting them and playing with them over the years, but always staying on the same track.

There are only three things I can do - make a dress, decorate a house, and entertain people.

I put the number 7 on my t-shirt because this is the number of my championships but also because it was the number of Barry Sheene, who was a great hero of mine and a truly great racer.

An evening dress that reveals a woman's ankles while walking is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

I like things simple.

My normal life is like being on holiday.

...and without love, one is a dead man on furlough, nothing but a scrap of paper with a few dates and a chance name on it, and we as well die.

I don't know why I should have to learn Algebra... I'm never likely to go there.

We know that priorities are amiss in the world when a man gets a military medal of honor for killing another man and a dishonorable discharge for loving one.

I can love the whole world except my neighbor.

We cannot carry our father's corpse with us everywhere we go.

I do my best not to have any expectations when I go into a movie because its not fair.

Nothing comes free. Nothing. Not even good, especially not good.

We don't all dig Shakespeare uniformly, or even 'Little Red Riding Hood.' The understanding of art depends finally upon one's willingness to extend one's humanity and one's knowledge of human life.

A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don't want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one.

An implicit confession is almost as bad as an implicit faith; wicked men commonly confess their sins by wholesale, We are all sinners; but the true penitent confesses his sins by retail.
