It makes me happy when my sons come home and tell me, 'We bumped into Donatella and she says hi.'

Education always continues. We all know that beauty fades, but what stays is a person's personality, their sense of humor, their wit, what they're interested in. That's what really shines.

When I have a cocktail, I love a vodka and cranberry. But when I was a kid my mother was really against drinking, because it was so bad for your skin. She'd say, "Stephanie, it's much better to wash your face with vodka."

I would like to see fewer actors modeling, or if they're going to model to the extent that they are modeling, then I think that models should be actors.

I really learned a lot from collecting clothes because I got to go back into the history of fashion and fashion photography and jewelry. It changed how I felt about fashion and about what I did forever because I used to look a little bit down on myself for it.

I educated myself, and it made me feel good. I went to museums. I read books. I did all the things, pretty much, that you would do in school. I would never want my kids to leave school, though, I'm really for education.

Probably the most important piece of advice that I've ever gotten is to develop your mind. I left school very young and I always regretted it.
