Transcript

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.
