Artist

I've been really upset sometimes when I've been misquoted. And it's the one thing they use in big print. Or it's taken out of context. Thoughts are fluid and words are sticky. That's the thing.

I don't like to look at myself in the mirror, which is why my eye makeup is always crooked.

If I eat, I can't work. I'll eat when I'm dead.

Everyone wants to get behind the red rope, but actually: be yourself, don't believe what you see, don't believe all this marketing.

Memories are like mercury. Every time you sort of try to get near them, they slip out of your hand like a bar of soap.

Seasons are really annoying. You get a really great pair of shoes or a beautiful pair of boots, and then you try to get them again four months later, and they say, 'Oh no, that was last season.'

We need a government, not politics. Because there's too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization.

It's quite nice to have a place to leave things. You can be a permanent gypsy, but it's nice to go home.

Fantasy appeals to me and can be very much reflected in my dress - but then, each day is different. Not every day is a magical day.

I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That's not me at all.

I practice stoic philosophy. As a human being, you may have emotions, but these don't need to affect your soul. The two are not one.

I really don't understand the idea of a celebrity stylist. Is it a real job? I know there's unemployment, but frankly the railways need to be fixed, too.

I just am who I am. And then when people label me eccentric or different, I'm kind of astonished because I think, 'This is completely normal. This is just how I am, it's how I've always been.'

Oh, I love tea. I have to take tea bags wherever I go.

There hasn't been anything real since grunge. That was the last movement led by music or an art form.

I'm normally late, so I just kind of throw on the sort of thing that's at hand. And then I'll go through phases of wearing the same thing again and again and again - and my wardrobe is mainly about black and white, so it goes together. I'll play with certain elements, but I don't really think about it too much.

I treat clothing or a piece of jewelry like it was a piece of art, even though people who collect clothes get a bad rap because they're told it's all vanity.

Love is agony, isn't it? I've been involved with someone for some time now, but it's all so complicated. It's never straightforward is it? You meet someone, you fall in love, it's the most wonderful thing ever but... There's always something that's not quite right about love, isn't there?

I think the world's just gone completely mad, with everyone wearing the same things, even celebrities.

Human beings all mimic each other.
