I am very attracted to the United States. Why? Well, as a little kid from Southern Italy, not from a wealthy family, it was always my dream to go to the Big Apple. I'm not one to listen to classical music. I am very much for what is American, but I also prefer the America of the ghetto. I love the Bronx. I love hip-hop and R&B. I love electro-Latino, Latin music, that whole realm.

Seduction is about intelligence and wit. Someone who makes me laugh has every chance to seduce me.

I had only two girlfriends. I didn't have many friends because I was staying at home and dreaming - drawing and dreaming.

At the beginning, I didn't see what Givenchy could give my career. It was like, "Okay, I'll do it for the money for a few years to help my mom and my sisters."

For me, fashion is a job. I love it. It's my passion. But the most important thing for me in general is life.

I think my heart is in a very good place. And I think this is why I'm achieving what I've been asking to do in the universe for so long.

I'm very well off but I can stay with normal people. I can do a super-luxury life, but I can do a very normal life and I'm not scared.
