The whole 1960s thing was a ten-year running party, which was lovely. It started at the end of the 1950s and sort of faded a bit when it became muddled with flower power. It was marvelous.

I still like the King's Road. It is very alive; it is a hustle of things from different countries and so on. It is lovely.

Fashion is a very ongoing, renewing thing, about change and reaching for the next thing. You are permanently dissatisfied, and it's always got to get better.

We have one party running everything in Washington. There are some abuses of power that Chris and his pals need to be held accountable for.

I divide my time between all the mud and open space in Surrey and the social life and work in London, particularly Chelsea, which still has the same village feel that it had in the swinging Sixties.

Fashion is not frivolous. It is a part of being alive today.
