If I hadn't decided to be a fashion designer, I would have loved to be a Broadway showgirl or a Rockette!

My favorite song will always be 'Layla' by Derek and the Dominos, because my granddaughter was named after it.

My favorite era was the '60s because it was filled with incredible creative newness, from panty hose to landing on the moon to Twiggy and Andy Warhol - I loved them, and they loved to wear my silver clothes.

My prom dress was very sweet, very puffy, but I also wore little stiletto, pointed-toe heels, nylon hosiery, the whole nine yards.

I would've been a really good costume designer because, basically, my clothes were like costumes, and I wanted to be a dancer, so there's all of that tulle and color.

My makeup hasn't really changed since the 1960s!

I don't feel comfortable without my makeup on. I've got to have my lipstick! I just don't feel like the same person, and I don't like the way I look without makeup.

I just get makeup from wherever I can. From Maybelline to Chanel - you know, all over the place.

I can't wear a little makeup. I have to wear a lot of makeup or no makeup.

Oh, I love the kids more than any other age group. I hate to say that, but new life is with new kids, you know? They're the future. The sheer fact that they're young and eager, that's what makes them rule.
