Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a lady.

I believe in sketching because there is something very sensitive in sketching, you know, in sketches that you don't have out of a computer that looks the same like everybody even if, later on, the dresses are OK, but I like to sketch, and I like to see trails made after my sketches that look the same. It is you know, what I like.

I don't fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach.

A beach is not only a sweep of sand, but shells of sea creatures, the sea glass, the seaweed, the incongruous objects washed up by the ocean.

A heart without dreams is like a bird without feathers.

It’s a creature of inspiration to most of us, who know (or hope) at some level that we are lovely, but are often intimidated about displaying our true colours in all their splendour.
