My children and my husband make me smile. My work makes me smile.

I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. Fashion stole my smile!

My first-ever car, my parents bought me a red Fiat Uno. I was 17 and just so happy to have a car, so I was very fortunate that my parents were in a position to get me one - it was a secondhand car, but I was just so happy to have it.

What's David's role? David looks good, that's what David does. David looks good, and I'm the funny one, that's what I hear constantly. But I keep telling him that looks fade.

You've got to trust people. And because I am a control freak, sometimes that's difficult for me, because I want to micro-manage absolutely everything. I can't hand over. But I'm trying to do that more.

Everything that I design I would wear myself.

I'm not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart, like a drawing that a child does.

I love America. It's such a positive country.

For me to go to America - which I find such a positive place - well, I took to it like a duck to water.

I'm lucky that I do something I love, and I am proud, as I think it's a positive message to give to young women: if you want to have a career and be married with children, then you can. It's full-on, but it's doable.

You know, I love America. It's such a positive country.

I'm a very driven, ambitious, positive person. But I'm a spiritual person as well.

I really am into crystals. I'm a real positive thinker. I believe in creative visualisation.

I just can't do heels any more. At least not when I'm working. I travel a lot.

I've got great people who handle my schedule, and everything does revolve around the children. If there's a parents' night or an Easter bonnet parade or a Nativity play, whatever it might be, then I plan everything around that.

These people are amazing. It's so emotional I was thinking about wearing waterproof mascara.

I'm a very, very healthy eater. I eat lots of fish, lots of vegetables, lots of fruit. I don't eat junk food.

I wake up every morning and I feel like I'm juggling glass balls. I live in Los Angeles, my business is run out of London, and most evenings I'm cuddled up in front of Skype, in my dressing gown, speaking with my studio in London. I travel a lot, my team travel a lot, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
