It's no good being too easily swayed by people's opinions. You have to believe in yourself.

I do think that exercise is important, not only to keep you in shape but also for your state of mind. However, I am not fanatical about it.

I go from a full working day to making sure I am home for dinner with my kids. I couldn't do that in a 10cm mini skirt but I am not going to resort to sweatpants and an old t-shirt.

Sometimes big designers are afraid that people won't recognize them if they change that much.

I like perfume and flowers.

In Italian there is an expression: We don't sleep on the fame.
