Quote

In becoming an icon, it is useful to die young.

I was never conscious that I was becoming an icon or I'm not an icon, because my family, my kids, my husband keep me down-to-earth.

I find the idea of today's icons being teenagers incredibly uninspiring.

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

Obviously I'm not a role model for impressionable youth.

I think I'm a different kind of role model for young girls.

It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.

Reluctant as I am to regard myself as a style icon, I would love to think I could inspire older women to make the most of themselves.
