I think for the women of today, because we work and go around a lot, Armani is ideal - simple and elegant at the same time. It's not eccentric, and everything he does is very subtle. For the evening, I like Gianfranco Ferre. There's a lot of fantasy and creativity in his clothes.

I do not know if I really am a big star. And in fact that is not the most important thing for me. What counts in life is to bring about more of your own dreams. In such a way that your life becomes like a fairy tale. This is what has happened to me, it is just like that.

Is my mother my friend? I would have to say, first of all she is my Mother, with a capital 'M'; she's something sacred to me. I love her dearly...yes, she is also a good friend, someone I can talk openly with if I want to.

I don't believe in anti-aging creams. I believe the skin should be clean, should be nourished, but most of all you should eat the right things.

I believe that rewards in life are deserved. Every reward is the fruit of discipline, of dedication and of sacrifices. And of stubbornness.

Transformation is something I cannot explain - too much analysis might destroy it.

I think the quality of sexiness comes from within.
