I think, to me, the sheer joy of fancy dress is that it allows you to take a break from our very carefully considered and constructed identities.

Each dress symbolizes the age that it's appropriate for.

Every time I put on high heels, I think: 'Well, I'll fall over today.' Almost always, I don't. Almost. But all high-heel-wearing women live in constant peril.

I think quotes are very dangerous things.

I can count on one hand the number of people who wrote me a thank you letter after having an interview, and I gave almost all of them a job.

The Queen's wedding dress in 1947, there was some embroidery on the train which was definitely there to illustrate new dawn/post-war optimism, that sort of thing.
