These are some of the lessons from Iris on fashion, love and life:
Key to success
Individuality.
Shopping
Always bargain at flea markets – as she’s seen doing it best in the film. “Sorry, I’m cheap,” she tells the owner of an African clothing shop.
Plastic surgery
“Unless you have a nose like Pinocchio or have been in a fire, why mess… You might come out worse. I’ve seen few people that have come out like a Picasso.”
Hues
“Colour can raise the dead.”
Beauty
“I’m not a pretty person. I don’t like pretty, so I don’t feel badly. Most of the world is not with me but I don’t care.”
Life choices
“I didn’t have children, but I never wanted children. You can’t have everything and I knew I wanted a career…”
Rules
“ I don’t have any rules because I will only be wasting them, so it’s a waste of time.”
