There's no need to dress like everyone else. It's much more fun to create your own look.
The sixties were a time when ordinary people could do extraordinary things . . . !
At sixteen, I was a funny, skinny little thing, all eyelashes and legs. And then, suddenly people told me it was gorgeous. I thought they had gone mad.
I've always loved life, and I've never known what's ahead. I love not knowing what might be round the corner. I love serendipity.
Confusion is the best form of communication. It's left to be unexplained.
I used to be a thing; I'm a person now.
I want to continue to try and break the barrier between male and female.
Being a grown-up woman doesn't mean you can't look beautiful, individual and different.
Always be natural. Putting on airs will make a giggle out of you. Be yourself and if you don't know something say so.
Fashion should be stylish and fun.
You can't be a clothes hanger for your entire life.
Being young isn't about age, it's about being a free spirit. You can meet someone of 20 who's boring and old, or you can meet someone of 70 who's youthful and exciting. I met Fred Astaire when he was 72 and I was 21, and I fell in love with him. He certainly was a free spirit.
I used to do my own make-up. I used to have this doll that had those big eyelashes on the top and bottom, and I think I copied her when I was doing my eyes, putting false eyelashes on the bottom as well as the top. So I came up with that look myself.
I don't understand people getting depressed about getting older. There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it.
The trick is to find the style that is right for you. When it comes to trying new clothes, my advice is not to take it too seriously - it's all about having fun.
What happened to me in the Sixties was so major and so worldwide and so huge, there's no way I can repeat it. But in a way, I had nothing to do with it, it just took me over. It was bizarre, it was weird, and I had no control over it. I don't think anyone could have planned what happened to me.
If you just say nothing, there is no way they can make you talk.
I think everyone should sing - it's so good for you, as it makes you breathe deeply, and it's good for you emotionally, too. It's a brilliant release way of lifting the spirits.
Life is about making choices: you can either spend three quid on a glossy magazine or you can spend it clearing three square metres of minefield and help give people their lives back. As simple as that.
My weakness is chocolate - especially butterscotch and nut varieties.
Ageing doesn't mean giving up on style and individuality; it doesn't mean abandoning fashion and living in comfy slippers and flannel knickers.
The 40s onwards are when we can really begin to enjoy ourselves. For many women, this is when everything comes together, and they look better than ever. The great thing about getting older is you don't have to do/wear/say anything you don't want to. It wasn't until my very late 30s that I stopped worrying about what other people thought.
Can you imagine wot it was like. All the girls gettin' luvly figgers and me stayin' flat as a pancake? It was no fun, I tell you.
I like to get on with people. I don't go around being nasty, but if someone crosses me, I can be horrible back.
Sometimes I can't believe I'm going to be 60. I always say there's no point moaning about getting older, when there's nothing you can do about it. But still, I do find it quite funny. I look at that number, 60, and I think, really? Me?
