“When I say I don't do fur or leather, in my world it's a massive shock...” — Stella McCartney Quote

“When I say I don't do fur or leather, in my world it's a massive shock, but when it comes into the sporting arena, it goes without saying. It also influences what I do on the runway: I get really excited when I discover an environmentally-friendly print process that doesn't use water, and I'll try and mimic that in my ready-to-wear.”

“I love that you can have the language between the two worlds of technology and fashion, because I don't think that many designers get to do that.”

“When I first started designing sportswear, I felt that women weren't represented in sports performance. I felt that men were dressed really well both technically and visually, and women were almost like an afterthought.”

“When I was younger, I always assumed that when I grew up, I would be living in the country, and my kids would be going to a state school. But that's not how things have turned out. I can't see myself being able to leave London.”

“What you wear in the evening is important for women because it's so personal, and it's so complicated to get it right. I like trousers for evening, especially when they have that width and attitude to them.”

“To me, sports gets America right. When we decide to politicize sports, what we are doing is bringing the noxiousness and divisiveness of politics into an arena that doesn't need it.”

“I feel that the work that I have done in the comedy arena, is priceless in terms of what I learned, timing, everything that these incredibly talented performers were generous enough in teaching me.”

“I think it's one of the secret sauces to our success, if you will, is that our fans are a part of our show. They engage, they chant, they cheer, they boo. There's a problem when they don't react. So, in essence, every live event is like a focus group. So we are getting that real-time feedback from them in the arena.”

“Everyone wants to perform at Wembley Arena. It's a mecca.”

“Any time the Western way of war can be unleashed on an enemy stupid enough to enter its arena, victory is assured.”

“At last, Russia has returned to the world arena as a strong state - a country that others heed and that can stand up for itself.”
