There isn't a book that has changed me, but I have favourites such as 'Pride and Prejudice' which I often re-read.
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?
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.
You feel very romantic when you're in a ball gown. Everyone should wear one once in a while.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of confusion today over what is sexy and what is vulgar. It's horrifying. They say, 'Oh, that girl is so sexy,' and she turns around and the dress is four sizes too small. Or she's wearing so much stuff, you wonder how long it took her to get ready.
Fashion should be fun. It shouldn't be labelled 'intellectual.'
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.
You never expect anything when you are 20 because you think that you'll never get older.
Politics are private. I don't understand people who try to convince you to join one party or another.
Fashion is to please your eye. Shapes and proportions are for your intellect.
The red carpet is very important. You have to be very careful to have the right person dressed in right way. For me, it has to be a perfect look.
Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.
When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don't think about retiring.
I was schooled at home, then didn't go to university because I married when I was 17. I didn't go into work until late in my life.
A man has to have sensibility, wit, mystery, tolerance, and strength... Romance also helps.
Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound.
I am very shy. When I go to a charity ball, I don't mind if people look at my sleeves. I mind terribly if I have to say something.
I've had work done on my eyes in the past. However, I think there are limits. I wouldn't ever have too much done, as it looks unnatural, and I don't think you should do anything to your lips, as it changes the entire shape of your face.
Attention to detail is of utmost importance when you want to look good.
