With couture, you’re going right to the consumer, and that’s something we learned from doing trunk shows. You’re meeting the client; you’re finding out what they like and what they don’t like. You’ve really got your customer there in front of you, so you know what works and what doesn’t.
One in the third film, I’m looking forward to meeting one of the Dementors.

People first concern themselves with meeting their basic needs; only afterwards, do they pursue any higher needs.
The whole process of being one of the 10 finalists for the ‘Vogue’ Fashion Fund award has to be my biggest achievement to date. Meeting Anna Wintour, Diane von Furstenberg, etc., has been an amazing experience that even now gives me goose bumps when I think about it.
I think that you may find that Tamera’s a little more vibrant and energetic, but I’m much more likely to go up to a person and say, ‘Hi, I’m Tia, nice to meet you.’ Whereas Tamera is like… well… she’s a little shy. She’s down to earth. I’m more extroverted and she’s more introverted when meeting people.
Obviously, you make preparations before you engage in any meeting.
So often at home in the West Village, I’m like, ‘Why aren’t I allowed a horse?’ I would keep a horse in a stable in my apartment, and I would fit him with rubber shoes, and we’d just roll him out. If I needed to go to a meeting somewhere, I’d just get on my horse and go across town.

I moved here in 1997. It’s 20 years later, and I finally feel like I’m in this business. I feel like I could call my manager if I wanted to set up a meeting to pitch something and actually get it done, based on my history and the work I’ve done. I can’t say that I felt that way five years ago.
Normally, what I do for fun is just nothing. I try to just relax. Normally, it involves just relaxing and reading and maybe going out and meeting up with a friend. I live a very simple existence. I would much rather just sit around and listen to a couple of records and read the paper.

One of the most enjoyable things I do at Government House and when I travel around Australia is to talk with children. I tell them about our parliamentary democracy – and I often do that as I’m walking into an Executive Council meeting next door!
A few years back I was asked if I would go and meet a director and his various acolytes, and it occurred to me halfway through the meeting that what I was doing was auditioning. And I thought, ‘Well, hang on buddy. I’ve done half a century of this.’
