The age in which we live, this non-stop distraction, is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline… because you need to be alone to find out anything. – Vivienne Westwood
I dont feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if youve got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just dont buy too much. – Vivienne Westwood
Everybody looks like clones and the only people you notice are my age. I dont notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70. – Vivienne Westwood
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. – Vivienne Westwood
Growing old is not a gradual decline, but a series of drops, full of sorrow, from one ledge to another below it.
