I don't see anybody categorized as a 'fashion diva,' except for me! And I like that. I am thought of as a diva because I wear an evening dress and I take care of my look when I go out. I go to parties regarding business, not for fun. And that's why they call me a 'diva.'

I know who the Versace woman is because I wear the clothes myself.

Just like music evokes emotion, so can garments.

I studied at a university in Florence and finished my degree. My mother was very strict about this recipe: You need to get your degree.

The first thing I do each morning is get out of bed and give my dog, Audrey, a hug. She's a Jack Russell. I think having an animal is a wonderful thing, particularly dogs. They are great levelers, there's no nonsense with them, and they just want simple affection.

Elegance is always in style for men.

Die and born again, die and born again. It's the story of my life.
