00:00 I had a great realization and why I dress like I did and still do was that at nine years
00:05 old with usually poor families you always have a rich aunt.
00:09 And I had this amazing rich aunt, Aunt Hazel.
00:14 And I went round there to my lovely Aunt Hazel's house and she had cabinets full of amazing
00:19 objects.
00:20 She had glass, china.
00:23 And I said to her that day, I said to my aunt, "When do you use all this stuff?"
00:27 And she said, "On special occasions."
00:30 You know what?
00:31 A week later she died.
00:33 She died and never ever used any of it.
00:37 And it was the most saddest thing to me and it was a realization that day at nine I thought,
00:41 "Right, we've got no money, we've got nothing.
00:43 We'll have a great life because my dad was always entertaining and my mum made our clothes."
00:49 But I had a Sunday best and I thought, "Right, from now on I'm going to wear my Sunday best
00:54 every day because every day you can dress for a party and the party will come to you."
01:01 So if you've got those fantastic gold shoes, the most beautiful dress, the most beautiful
01:06 suit, wear it.
01:08 If it gets torn or breaks or wears out, it doesn't matter.
01:11 You'll have absolutely enjoyed it and it'll be the best thing in life.
01:14 And it is.
01:15 And I dress for a party every day and I truly have a party every day.
