It's the kind of clothes that mothers and daughters can wear in terms of concept... It's not about age. It's about taste and it's about lifestyle. I believe women of all ages can wear anything.

I've an enormous respect for my mother who at the age of 39 raised three children and I grew up with my grandmother in the household. And so it was a really strong household of women - my poor brother! It was great growing up with so many generations of women.

What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change.

There are only two things a child will share willingly communicable diseases and its mother's age.

I remember at the age of five travelling on a trolley car with my mother past a group of women on a picket line at a textile plant seeing them being viciously beaten by security people. So that kind of thing stayed with me.

I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.

My mother enjoyed old age and because of her I've begun to enjoy parts of it too. So far I've had it good and am crumbling nicely.

Middle age is the awkward period when Father Time starts catching up with Mother Nature.
