I think now it's a very odd time in politics. It should be mostly about good governing. We need a government, not politics. Because there's too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization.
I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That's not me at all.
Fashion is not just about trends. It's about political history. You can trace it from the ancient Romans to probably until the '80s, and you can see defining moments that were due either to revolutions or changes in politics.
I'm normally late, so I just kind of throw on the sort of thing that's at hand. And then I'll go through phases of wearing the same thing again and again and again. My wardrobe is mainly about black and white, so it goes together. I'll play with certain elements, but it's - I don't really think too much about it.
I can't understand it when people are closed-minded. I mean, boy, have I made mistakes and been very wrong. I can't tell you the amounts of times I've been let down, but I still try to see the best in people.
People always assume I don't need to work for money, but my divorce settlement was not as much as it's always reported to be.
I think it's beautiful to be able to cover yourself in metal. I love the color and the way it reflects. But it is also a protection.
Everyone thought I was going to fall down on my shoes and I kept saying, 'Well if I do I'll just get up!'
Fashion is not just about trends. It's about political history. You can trace it from the ancient Romans to probably until the '80s, and you can see defining moments that were due either to revolutions or changes in politics. At the end of the Roman era, there was this whole move against togas, because that was the signifier of the Roman Empire. In the same way, the '60s were a reaction against the '50s and so on. But now we've been feeding on a sort of cadaver. At the moment, we're just endlessly recycling the past.
I'd quite like to have one place where I stay put. And I don't like living in cities all the time. In order to have ideas, you have to have some peace and quiet.
Memories are like mercury. Every time you sort of try to get near them, they slip out of your hand like a bar of soap.
If you go into a relationship when you're 16, you've got no baggage.
If I think about it too much, I can't get dressed.
A marriage is a solemn affair. The tempest of emotions and the myriad of arrangements are giddying, and when one is faced with these, clothing seems to be the last of one's priorities.
But things don't necessarily have to be that expensive to be good. As long as they are expensive enough to last.
There hasn't been anything real since grunge. That was the last movement led by music or an art form.
I don't like to look at myself in the mirror, which is why my eye makeup is always crooked.
In fashion, there are so many gangs, if you identify too much with one, you get caught - I would lose my freedom.

Everyone wants to get behind the red rope, but actually: be yourself, don't believe what you see, don't believe all this marketing.
Holding a note is a very difficult thing - you have to use your whole body to achieve a perfect pitch.
Human beings all mimic each other.
I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.
I don't tell anybody else what to wear. I would never dream of it.
I hate the idea of making any of my children into a mini-me. That would be terrible.
