I do quite a lot of art, with a small 'a'. I guess that is how I was dredged up, with paints and crayons. Even when I was at nursery, I knew instinctively how to mix colours, how to make purple or orange.
From Amanda Harlech
I think fashion, mishandled, can be quite toxic. It becomes about image and the cult of celebrity. I think when an artist is seen at a lot of parties as a celebrity, I find that worrying. I think it can limit them.
Our idea of happiness, some of it, is very tied to the cult of celebrity: there is this golden, wonderful life that I want, and if I dress like that, I'm on my way there.
I don't think I am a proud person, but I think my children are incredible... I think I am part of that.
Contemporary culture is like the weather - we have to be open to it. I don't like the way it is dismissed or closed down.
We have to keep an eye on the future with a sense of the past in every passing moment of the present.
My earliest childhood memory is watching the sunlight through a jar of amber full of wasps.
As women, we need to remember: don't be a doormat!
I think I am really easygoing. Well... as I was about halfway through that sentence, I thought, 'No, actually you're really picky.' But the things I ask for are really simple to do.
