It's funny, because I sometimes feel that I'm most creative when I'm pregnant.

I am a control freak.

I always go to the Cannes Film Festival and it's just such a glamorous time.

Bridesmaids are never going to upstage the bride.

I love vintage and prints.

I'm actually an incredibly disorganized, messy person.

Sometimes if I can't sleep and I am up in the night, I will start researching things - it could be an image I've seen, or a book I am reading.

My great-grandfather was in the army in India, and we have photographs of my family there in full Victorian dress. They're incredibly romantic.

My wedding was at home, so I didn't really want to wear a veil in my house. Instead I wore a lot of diamond hair clips. They were brooches, actually, designed by Lorraine Schwartz.

I look much more civilized than I actually am.

I enjoyed studying costume, learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer.

Any book worth banning is a book worth reading.

Gold that buys health can never be ill spent, Nor hours laid out in harmless merriment.

Much of my playing is rhythmic and choppy; I use a lot of double stops. The wah just accents all those stops and chops and brings out the rhythmic aspect that much more.

The first step in good reporting is good snooping.

Come, and the only limits to what you'll be able to achieve will be your own courage and your own talent.

The thing that I'm just scared to death of is that someday I'm going to wake up and bore somebody with a film.
