The whole season thing is nonsense. It's either beautiful or it isn't. That's something I really learned when I started collecting dresses.

All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.

All I want to do is make people beautiful.

I am very much a people person. If I am in a beautiful place but I don't like the people, I am miserable.
