I am not a fashionista, and I don't dress up. Usually if I'm at home, where I am now, I'm wearing a robe.

However I dress it up, I was a spy and I am not proud of it.

I like to be myself, and I don't pretend. For instance, I don't dress up for occasions; I am what I am.

I mix everything up. A museum curator once said to me that there is a great jazz component to the way I do things because good jazz is improvisation and draws elements from all different cultures. And that's the way I do everything - the way I dress and decorate.

I am utterly, consummately intense, wearing sunflowers and poppies and dahlias in my buttonhole.

I love high-end designers, but a head-to-toe designer look for me is extremely boring. I've always mixed it up.
