Don't take things too seriously.

Stay small and control it yourself.

I don't have regrets because they are negative.

I've generally got a good eye for design and proportion.

Never cut corners, or accept anything that's second-rate.

Fashion is more usually a gentle progression of revisited ideas.

The bump I was trying to hide could be the future king of England.

Don't be limited by the expectations of others. You can always be better and do more.

We're into Nicole Kidmans, rather than the young girl who just got married in a tracksuit.

I keep on working when other people are out having fun. But I love what I do and find it hard to stop.

I can think of a lot of women clients of mine who are well into their 50s or 60s who are still quintessentially very elegant.

My aim is to make you look the best you can and if that means a little bit of internal pulling and hoisting up, then so be it.

I come from very humble origins, so the last thing I would ever do is to look down my nose at people who can't afford to come here to my shop.

I'm not that interested in fashion... When someone says that lime-green is the new black for this season, you just want to tell them to get a life.

I mean, you can't walk down the aisle in Westminster Abbey in a strapless dress, it just won't happen - it has to suit the grandeur of that aisle, it's enormous.

I was getting a lot of editorial, as in lots of pages in 'Vogue,' but it's far more important to get your dresses on the back of a famous person. Charlotte Rampling in Bruce Oldfield. That sells.

If someone's got good, clean skin, with not too much make-up on, and good, clean hair that's bouncy, and the nails are clean and not overly done, then you can put anything on her and she's going to look good.

That to me was the most poignant part of Diana's wedding; as she was walking up the aisle and her eyes were going left to right, looking at people and smiling in the way that Diana did - and that diamond tiara glittering like mad. It was great.
