Because of the Prada name, I can do things that people normally would not care about in the culture. I can have an exhibit by some forgotten artist who I love, and because it's Prada, people will come see it.

I think more and more, if you live in the current world - and live internationally - it's all a mix of interests, and the same people who are interested in fashion are also interested in movies, art, and culture.

I suppose I felt guilty not to be doing something more important, more political. So in a way I am trying to use the company for these other activities.

I love uniforms because they allow you to hide. No one knows what you are thinking, so it's a very appropriate and correct way to be yourself.

I am interested in communicating with the world by selling to many people.

You want to be understood by the sophisticated few but you also have to be more loud somehow, otherwise your message doesn't go through.

The process of a date, I think, is terrible. Horrible. Because everything is banal and predicted.
