loyalty sound wanted
] I'm loyal to my thoughts, to my friends. This is what I really like the best. Loyalty. Sounds goody-goody. Maybe that's not the one you wanted.
want disease forget
I forget about the diseases that I have. I don't want to know.
believe want matter
When somebody wants to work and believes in something, it doesn't matter if you're well known or rich or whatever it is.
girl opposites want
I thought Victoria Beckham was going to be one of those pop girls, but she's absolutely the complete opposite. She's a working girl. She knows what she wants. And when she doesn't know, she really prepares herself. I love this working type of women. And she's a girl from - I don't even know where she's from.
want twisted platforms
I'm totally twisted. Instead of, "Oh god, I don't have platforms - they won't like me," I was much more, "I'm doing what I'm doing, and if you don't want to buy it, then don't buy, but that's just what I'm gonna do." It gave me strength. It worked for me.
beautiful wanted extravagant
I never wanted to be the most famous, the most beautiful, the most extravagant.
cannot people send work
Most of the people nowadays send their things by internet. But I cannot work that way. I like to do it myself.
I think I am one of the smallest surviving brands.
I'm like an old vampire, so it's important to talk to young people.
wear women
I like women with style to wear my shoes.
england learnt royal
The greatest shoemaker in England for many, many decades; he used to be the royal shoe-maker for the Queen Mother. This is where I learnt my trade.
deal
I'm very painful to deal with when I create a shoe.
change season
I think of each new season as an evolution, not a change in style.
buy girls
I never thought that I would sell to young people, but now girls who are 14 and 15 buy my shoes.
