I realised I've got quite a talent for coming up with ideas for design. I've got so many ideas about fashion.

Some of the things I did in my early career were massive learning curves because I had no one to guide me. You learn very quickly because it costs you torment and trouble.

I suppose I have very undesirable traits. I am very critical, which is very undesirable. But it is good from a business point of view.

I don't think I'm going to live until I'm 70, no; I could die tomorrow. So there isn't a panic that time is running out, but there is an element that anything could happen.

I don't believe dying's a sad thing.

I've always had bronchitis. I've been administered the Sacrament of Death three times for it.

I have had death threats from people with fixations.

I suddenly realized at the CIA that I had to make life-and-death decisions about people.
