The best-dressed man is an Italian who is trying to look English, or an Englishman who is trying to look Italian.

Taste is acquired. You may have to unlearn a taste for chocolate or ice cream.

Italy will always have the best food.

I wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life - and I became that woman.

I obviously don't feel under pressure to look young, because I have had no Botox or surgery. I don't judge people who choose to have it, but I don't want to erase who I am.

I had a very down-to-earth product, my wrap dress, which was really a uniform. It was just a simple little cotton-jersey dress that everybody loved and everybody wore. That one dress sold about 3 or 4 million. I would see 20, 30 dresses walking down one block. All sorts of different women. It felt very good. Young and old, and fat and thin, and poor and rich.

When you feel humiliated or things like that, you either use it as fuel to change or you get covered by it.
