I'm lucky that I do something I love, and I am proud, as I think it's a positive message to give to young women: if you want to have a career and be married with children, then you can. It's full-on, but it's doable.

I'm a very driven, ambitious, positive person. But I'm a spiritual person as well.

For me to go to America - which I find such a positive place - well, I took to it like a duck to water.

You know, I love America. It's such a positive country.

I love America. It's such a positive country.

I really am into crystals. I'm a real positive thinker. I believe in creative visualisation.

I wake up every morning and I feel like I'm juggling glass balls. I live in Los Angeles, my business is run out of London, and most evenings I'm cuddled up in front of Skype, in my dressing gown, speaking with my studio in London. I travel a lot, my team travel a lot, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart, like a drawing that a child does.

Strong women, that's who I really respect.

I love fashion, and I love changing my style, my hair, my makeup, and everything I've done in the past has made me what I am now. Not everyone is going to like what I do, but I look back at everything, and it makes me smile.

I think the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence, but confidence in a humble way, not in an arrogant way. Sense of humor is definitely important. And sunglasses always hide a multitude of sins. Sunglasses and a great pair of heels can turn most outfits around.

I just can't do heels any more. At least not when I'm working. I travel a lot.

You've got to trust people. And because I am a control freak, sometimes that's difficult for me, because I want to micro-manage absolutely everything. I can't hand over. But I'm trying to do that more.

I have always been a great believer that women should support women, and my admiration goes out to mothers everywhere, as they constantly put their own needs behind those of their children, embracing daily uncertainties and entering the new uncharted territories that each day brings, to be, in return, rewarded with joy and unending love.

It's great when women support women. We need more women out there supporting women.

I like a man who can be a real friend, has a good sense of humor, a good pair of shoes and a healthy gold card.

Everything that I design I would wear myself.

My children and my husband make me smile. My work makes me smile.

I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. Fashion stole my smile!

I'm a very, very healthy eater. I eat lots of fish, lots of vegetables, lots of fruit. I don't eat junk food.
