I'd rather promote New York than anything else in this world because New York to me means the world.

I believe in the power of women. As nurturers, we have a unique ability to care and share and make the world a better place. Women Who Inspire are women who are making a difference.

Personally, I don't use fragrance, and only use essential oils. Stephan [Weiss] said, "Donna, we have to do fragrance - fragrance will last forever - fashion goes up and down. And I said, "I love Casablanca lilies, I love the smell of your neck and I love suede. If you can combine these three together, we can discuss it."

Smell is the primordial sense, more powerful, more primitive, more intimately tied to our memories and emotions than any other. A scent can trigger spiritual, emotional or physical peace and stimulate healing and wellness.

I always need a support team, even at Donna Karan. I like collaborating. There is something in collaboration that is wonderful.

I practice yoga and take a steam-filled bath or shower. Then I sit quietly and review and prioritize my to-do list.

I believe Hillary [Clinton] should be the president. I believe having her and her husband in the White House is what the country needs .
