I had both my children at home. It came naturally to me.
-
I've found that motherhood helps you figure out what absolutely needs to be done and what doesn't. You just learn to do everything quicker and quicker - your style and your makeup gets more refined and generally easier.
-
I get very unsettled by the mess of Christmas. I find the decorations a little bit hard, as my desire for everything to match is never fully satisfied.
-
I am not frightened of speaking my mind. I don't have fear in that regard.
-
If you think that starving yourself all day is going to make you happy, you're a fool, because not only are you physically drained, you're mentally drained, with nothing left to give to your work or your lover or whoever it is you so want to be beautiful for.
-
Style icons feel like they have to be so thin, and when I see somebody with a fuller figure like Scarlet Johansson, who is sexy and happy, I find it such a relief.
-
I have always made my own jewelry. I particulary love emeralds and black diamonds, and I'm always wearing large cocktail rings.
-
I started experimenting with jewelry in my 20s - I was playing around with gemstones and painting things in gold leaf, and it turned into this huge obsession for me, so I launched my first jewelry line, Jade Inc.

Until my early teens, I lived with my mother in New York, and I spent a lot of time in the company of her friends, mostly artists and designers, such as Andy Warhol, Ross Bleckner and Francesco Clemente, none of whom had kids, so I was like their shared child.

You have got to give children respect from the earliest stage. You should be proud of whatever you do. If you're not, you really shouldn't be doing it at all.

The grown-up world was a very ordered society in the early '60s, and I was coming out of it. America was even more ordered than anywhere else. I found it was a very restrictive society in thought and behavior and dress.
-
Daggers have such beautiful, functional shapes, and decorating them is an ancient tradition.
-
I used to call my grandmother 'Nana,' so that seems right to me, but maybe I'll just be 'Jade', in that modern way.
-
Ibiza is very close to my heart.
-
I want people to be true to themselves and believe in themselves. I want people to stop looking to celebrity idols and look to themselves instead, because we need real people to inspire us.
-
Every now and then, someone will stop me and say, 'Do I know you?' And I just say, 'Nope.'
-
I think people perceive me completely differently than how I perceive myself. I see myself as a sweet, cosy, motherly type. We all want people to be more glamorous and daring and adventurous than they actually are.
-
I do wonder why modern society has made monogamy the one and only option. In England, it's always, 'Are you with him, or him?' Perish the thought it might be both.
-
We have lots of fruit trees and vegetables - we live endlessly on courgettes. I certainly wouldn't approve of a diet of McDonald's for my children.
-
People occasionally recognise me. But they don't know who I am. I see a lot of bemused looks... They're trying to figure it out.
