With fashion, my mother was an icon, but she never lived it in the sense that she was never obsessed with fashion. When I was a young girl, my sister wasn't doing fashion, so I started fashion thinking, 'I'm going to do something that they haven't done yet.' That was my silly scheme at the time.

I get told all the time that I'm a fashion icon now, but I don't really know what that means. I just get dressed.

At the start, I had no idea to go into fashion, because I thought people would think I was stupid. I don't worry about those things anymore.

I only aim for fashion that's long dead.

For me, in a world full of armies of stylists and makeup artists, what I think truly makes a fashion icon is how a girl dresses when she's off duty and she has to put her own looks together - no small challenge!

Here Fashion is a despot, and no one dreams of evading its dictates.

There's more to me than fashion. I just don't want to be seen as fashion.

Fashion's important to me, but beauty fades. All that stuff is fun while it lasts, but anything can happen tomorrow. You've got to have so much more about you than the way you look or your clothes.

With time, fashion has become part of my DNA.

I'm not really a fashion person.
