When I put something on, and I stand up much straighter, that's when I love to wear clothes.

I've never had a stylist, and I've always chosen my own clothes.

I really respond to putting myself out of my own depth and finding my feet.

It is extremely important to me that the social and environmental issues associated with the production of fashion clothing are addressed.

In my family we've always been into ethical stuff and recycling.

We're in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.

I get very antsy and nervous if I don't know what the next job is.
