I really have a generation gap about modern clothes.

I would loathe to work on modern films.

I did a film called Dracula and it was very nice because I had lots of trips to New York on Concorde.

Richard Chamberlain on The Slipper and the Rose was lovely to work with. He wore the clothes so beautifully and sang his songs so well.

I liked Live and Let Die, where money was no object.

I saw a very good Hollywood film the other day. It was about Cole Porter.

That's another thing about today's stars that makes me glad that I'm not doing it any more. The stars come with ten people all around them. I don't know how you ever make any personal contact with them.

But with period clothes, people know less so they accept the pretty drawing that I give them.

I didn't know whether I wanted to be an actress or a singer then.

There are wonderful museums with lots of photographs of 1920's musicals.

When you look at Darling and the Oscars, it has to be luck. It was a black and white film and it was the last time that there was a black and white Oscar.

Sometimes the producer has more say and the director takes what he is given. On other occasions, you don't see the producer very much and the director is the one who it is all about.

I don't understand what modern clothes are about at all.

A lot of it, as it is in any job in life, is being in the right place at the right time.

I have to go back to my younger days, when I just adored Hollywood musicals.

John Schlesinger had one of his friends designing it and he had never done a film before. Ten days before it started, they didn't have any costumes. I was rung up and joined up.

I find shoestrings very hard work. I like big budgets.

I don't know much about football but everyone seems to say that it is all about possession.

With the black and white films, one was concerned with tone.

You are lucky that I can't sing tonight because I might get carried away.

God comes to us in theater in the way we communicate with each other, whether it be a symphony orchestra, or a wonderful ballet, or a beautiful painting, or a play. It's a way of expressing our humanity.

The actors nowadays, both young men and young ladies, don't always wear their period clothes as well as they might. They tend to stomp around a bit in them.

I got the boot once from Stanley Donen. The film was called The Little Prince.

I liked The Slipper and the Rose, as I have already mentioned, because it was such a lovely film to do.

I fell in love with Dorset and ended up living there for a while.

You had to make sure that the tone of your dress was not the same tone as the curtains, for instance.

It's nice when you work with someone who has an eye for clothes and will show what you've given them.

I really have a generation gap about modern clothes.

On the speech day, the production designer, who has a lot of say in things, and sometimes I didn't agree with him but I had to do what I was told, wanted the speech day to be all in neutral colours for the women, which was a good thing.

I wish we did have responsibility for the hair. I have been screwed up by the hair on many occasions.

I wouldn't like to see a chick of mine taking her clothes off and kissing a fellow on screen. And my girls must get very hurt when they see me doing it.

A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.

Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear out but clothes, To keep one from going nude.

Put off thy cares with thy clothes; so shall thy rest strengthen thy labor, and so thy labor sweeten thy rest.

I have a friend in New York who's a stylist and I went over to her place because she's got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it's all stuff that I brought over.

I try not to be but I'm super-neurotic about diet. I'm neurotic about trying not to be neurotic! I'm like every other girl. I have to try really hard my whole life to try to be fit. And I'm super-vain. And I want to wear cute clothes.

I'm a former hippie, so clothes are important to me - your clothes defined you in that period. I guess clothes still defines people. But, I change a lot. I'm in my Brooks Brothers period now.

Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man. The biography of the man himself cannot be written.

He was a tubby little chap who looked as if he had been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say "when!"

If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same.

There's this idea that if you take your clothes off, somehow you must have loose morals.

I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show.

Progressive societies outgrow institutions as children outgrow clothes.

I once did a role which I couldn't rehearse in my street clothes, I had to have the character's costume on before I could rehearse it. I just couldn't think as the character unless I looked like him, or I knew that I looked like him.

It's so much harder to keep your clothes on than take them off in this business. Even in Exotica, they wanted more nudity, but I didn't feel comfortable.

I have never been a believer that nice clothes should only be for people with money.

I'd much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they're the first to be rescued off sinking ships.

Sex is a bad thing because it rumples the clothes.

Richard Chamberlain on The Slipper and the Rose was lovely to work with. He wore the clothes so beautifully and sang his songs so well.
