I disagree with everything I used to say.

I don't watch television and I rarely go to the cinema, but I recently watched 'The King's Speech' on a flight. It was so beautiful and so simple.

I like to literally put women on a pedestal.

The young need discipline and a full bookcase.

The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.

My clothes are very popular in Japan.

If we didn't have the Chinese buying things, we'd be on the floor.

When we started to do punk, we put all of these things together to create the look of an urban guerrilla -- a rebel.

I think I've got wiser.

Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.

I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly.

There is a real connection between culture and climate change. We all have a part to play and if you engage with life, you will get a new set of values, get off the consumer treadmill, and start to think, and it is these great thinkers who will rescue the planet.

We moved into the back, made it into a little 50s sitting room and started to sell the records. We had an immediate success. For one thing, these Teddy Boys were thrilled to buy the records.

To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.

I tend not to like an awful lot of what is going out under my name now because it is just all product. Who needs it?

Nothing is costed properly and it's destroying the earth. We need to re-educate people that what is good for the planet is good for the financial system.

But, having a perfume and license, in general, is a financial necessity. A designer must, to reap back the money spent on prototypes and all that sort of thing.

I'm very lucky. The public happens to like me. Maybe they like me because I use every opportunity to talk about injustice.

My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor.

I love designing at the moment, I'm so happy with my work.
