My look is either very baroque or very Zen – everything in between makes me itch.

I never buy what someone says is 'in' or a 'must-have.' I buy what makes me happy.

I never just went to look for clothes and style; I always find that wherever I go.

When you don't dress like everybody else, you don't have to think like everybody else.

I don't have any rules, because I would only be breaking them, so it's a waste of time

Humor is important in everything. Dress with a little humor and you can go a long way.

To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!

Being well-dressed is a wonderful thing, but I don't think it should be life threatening.

I had to be my own person and live my own life if I wanted to be happy, and I just did it.

You can be born with the talent to be an opera star, but you've got to work and practice it.

I'm happy if I can help anybody. I'm more than happy to, but you have to find your own path.

If you hair is done properly and you're wearing good shoes, you can get anyway with anything.

I love a nice hot pink. I like thick lipstick, otherwise it doesn't look like you're wearing any.

The White House is the people's house. When you do historical restoration, that must be what it is.

I can't tell people how to have style. No amount of money can buy you style. It's just instinctive.

I'm not going to be a rebel and offend anybody, but I'm not going to live in somebody else's image.

I’m a great believer in common sense, and the older I get I see that common sense is not that common

There's different shopping in Paris than there is at a bazaar in Istanbul, but they're all wonderful.

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.

I see myself as the world's oldest living teenager... I try to get as much kick out of things as possible.

I don't expect to find inspiration. It just sort of comes. Sometimes you step on a bug and you get inspired.

I think fashion is just part of my life and if it hadn't been fashion then it would have been something else.

I don't count myself as a fashionista because I do a lot of other things. That's just a small part of my life.

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

I think fashion is just part of my life and if it hadn't of been fashion then it would have been something else.

People would always say to me, "Why are you wearing such large frames?" And I would say, "The bigger to see you."

I think if women put some more of the time and money they put on their heads in their heads, they’d be better off.

My secret to having a happy relationship is having a sense of humour and giving one another space: your own space.

You're not pretty, and you'll never be pretty. But, it doesn't matter. You have something much better. You have style.

Understated jewellery is not for me. It's too itsy-bitsy. My husband is lucky, as I've never had a yen for real jewels.

I'm a hopeless romantic. I buy things because I fall in love with them. I never buy anything just because it's valuable.

Style means you have a real curiosity about yourself and then you express it. Having style is not copying somebody else.

I'm not a pretty person. I don't like pretty, so I don't feel badly. Most of the world is not with me, but I don't care.

Shock can kill you. Shock is terrible. But what you've got to do is live in the present, which is what I have always done.

I say, dress to please yourself. Listen to your inner muse and take a chance. Wear something that says 'Here I am!' today.

I find that if I get up and push myself, I get lost in what I'm doing, and I forget about everything else until I stop doing it.

I'm delighted that gay people want to get married and I say why not! It's nobody's business and I would happily give my blessing.

I'm delighted that gay people now want to get married and I say why not! It's nobody's business and I would happily give my blessing.

I still have the dress I wore on the first date with my husband, which was more than 66 years ago. I still have it, and it still fits.

Fashion has this youth mania. But 70-year-old ladies don't have 18-year-old bodies, and 18-year-olds don't have a 70-year-old's dollars.

I don't believe in rules. It's different for everybody. Everyone has to make their own decision and find out what's comfortable for them.

Society should emphasize personality. Accomplishment. Interest. Intelligent things. I think everybody should look as good as possible too.

I'm a color person, I've never been known to play it safe. Plus I like big bags. My eyeglasses are so big; they don't fit into smaller bags.

You have to look in the mirror and see yourself. If it feels good, then I know it's for me. I don't dress to be stared at, I dress for myself.

It's not easy to know who you are and it's very painful and takes a lot of time and that is why a lot of people don't want to put in the effort.

I was never a fan of Chanel. I liked it on other people. Some other people. All the ladies who were too plump and busty looked like little sausages.

If you don't have any individuality and you're happy just being one of the girls (or boys) be my guest. I'm not the fashion police. I won't fault you.

I don't think dressing has anything to do with numbers. I know people of 30 who act like they're 97, and I have a few old-bag friends who are very hip.

I think you're born with style, but you have to develop it. You can be born with the talent to be an opera star, but you've got to work and practice it.
