Mary Quant

A woman is as young as her knees.

I liked my skirts short because I wanted to run and catch the bus to get to work.

As a child, I used to spend nearly all my summer holidays with my aunt in Wales, and we used to catch mackerel in a boat and then cook them on board.

Permissiveness is the principle of treating children as if they were adults; and the tactic of making sure they never reach that stage.

I don't like to get in front of people.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
