For me, New York is comfortable, not strange. And I don't feel like a stranger. I have more friends in New York than Paris.

I have no personality, or I have three, depending on how you look at it.

I don’t do meetings. At Chanel, there are no meetings. At Chanel, we do what we want, whenever we want and it works. And Fendi is the same.
