I am a control freak.

I always go to the Cannes Film Festival and it's just such a glamorous time.

Bridesmaids are never going to upstage the bride.

I love vintage and prints.

Sometimes if I can't sleep and I am up in the night, I will start researching things - it could be an image I've seen, or a book I am reading.

My great-grandfather was in the army in India, and we have photographs of my family there in full Victorian dress. They're incredibly romantic.

I look much more civilized than I actually am.

I enjoyed studying costume, learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer.

What is the disposition which makes men rejoice in good bargains? There are few people who will not be benefited by pondering over the morals of shopping.

The past is made out of facts...I guess the future is just hope.

My life in Brooklyn was in constant danger because of my bad health.

There is no need to accept the standards of the world at large.

Let us not attack those who disagree. Let us defend those who follow.
