I found it hard being a full-time mum and take my hat off to anyone who can do it.

I think when you wear so many hats, be it of a mom or a working woman, you need to feel good and look good as well.

Working women wore hats. It was the only way they would take you seriously.

Often, what makes my job so exciting is designing for the mother whose dream has been to wear one of my hats at her child's wedding. I feel as responsible for making her feel like a million dollars as I do for somebody in the public eye.

People don't tend to hassle me because when I've got a hat on, I look like a banker. I'm just a plain guy.

I'm not a hat person. I really don't like wearing things on my head.

My mother is my manager and so knows exactly what I do and so on.

I don't have to walk around in hats or find remote places to go for lunch! I don't get recognised that often.

When people come and visit me and have a hat made, it's a little bit like visiting a psychiatrist, but they don't actually realize that.
