I don't do nostalgia. The phrase 'the good old days' never passes my lips.
Interior decoration partly thrives on being social.
I think what I have is straightforwardness, unabashedness rather than charm.
It's rude to not try and look up-to-date. Is rude the right word? Yes! It's rude - rude to other people.
I have a thirst - it's an awful word, but I'm thirsty for knowledge. I like knowing things, the odder the better, the more obtuse the better.
The English truly understand the dynamic between buildings and land.
I didn't want to look distinguished; I wanted to look fun, and also to fade into the street, into the King's Road. If I don't fade into a room at White's, that's fine. My father was chairman of Brooks' and the Beefsteak, and I was brought up in that life, and it bores me rigid.
It's terribly easy to be well dressed. It's much more difficult to be badly dressed.
Sunday afternoon is for papers and writing.
I'm afraid of people, in a way.
I have a natural curiosity for people.
I've always wanted to look different. I always think I've got this terrible figure. I'd like to be 3 inches taller.
I believe every room speaks, tells you what to do to it. You have to listen to that.
You can learn the subtle language of interior style, but many people simply buy it. If you put yourself in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing, you can be confident it will look good.
I had a face-lift, and I would have another if I needed one. It definitely changed my life. I'm not vain. In fact I don't like looking at myself. The face-lift was just about looking rested.
I could care less if it's Mick Jagger or the man on the street. I just like interesting people, and I happen to know a lot of stars.
It's the fashion, I tell you: big, tall women going out with tiny, tiny men.
I wanted to be grown up the minute I could.
I'm about love.
Vanity is not having facelifts if you're ugly. Those people who say: 'Oh, I'd never dream of having anything done!' That's rude. It's rude, to other people, to not try and look your best; to not try and stir things up, to not reinvent... or just invent... it's one's duty to not get stuffy.
