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

When I talk with people, I don't even see what they are wearing . . . No, I recognize it if it's something particularly nice and interesting. I see the exception.

Designing for me is a very complex process. There are many ideas that I want to express in one object, very often contradictory. The creative process in Miu Miu is completely different from that of Prada. Miu Miu is not as complicated and thought out as Prada. Rather than being young, Miu Miu is immediate Prada is very sophisticated and considered; Miu Miu is much more naive. The solution, when I am working on Miu Miu, has to come immediately, instinctively, spontaneously with whatever is available at the moment. If I think three times, I stop.

In America many things that are interesting are seen as odd.

You need to have dignity towards how you are, how you dress, how you behave. Very important.

I just hate talking about myself.

It's still feminine, but not in a romantic way. It's all about masculine and feminine, and being strong.
