“When I look at my clothes, I think of them as an expression of the joy...” — Suzy Menkes Quote

“When I look at my clothes, I think of them as an expression of the joy and fun of fashion - with a bit of English eccentricity thrown in.”

“The clothes that fire up my emotions are colorful and 'different' pieces. My eye still picks out gilded-cloque glamour from among Burberry's streamlined trench coats or a hand-printed coat from Dries Van Noten.”

“With a global society hungry for luxury, distribution and supply chains are now as important for executives as a hands-on feel for products.”

“I was trained as journalist never to use the word 'I,' never to put my own opinion there. In fact, if you had a dollar or a euro for every time I use the word 'I,' you would be a poor person. But this is not true in general. I like the idea of being able to stand away and make a judgement.”

“Just as in life you always marry the same man, so I think you always buy the same clothes over time.”

“We know that creative people have all sorts of demons.”

“I'm a bit of a clothes hoarder, admittedly. I try to weed out stuff. My girlfriends come over for cheese and wine and go shopping in my wardrobe. They especially love it when they get stuff with a tag still on.”

“I think my dream would be to move into film, purely because there's a definite beginning, middle and end to a project. I struggle a bit with such a big series that's going all the time.”

“You can get a bit 'head in the clouds' - well, I do - and full of myself if I stick in front of the camera for too long. I forget there is hard work that needs to be done.”

“I can be a little bit guilty of being too nice.”

“Every human being has a bit of gangster in him.”

“I think people expect me to dress a bit like Veronica from 'Shameless,' in vest tops and denim skirts.”
