I always hang up my own dresses. It is a good lesson in appreciation and in always remembering that you're part of a team, not outside of the team, but with the team and on the team.

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.

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

I did everything young. I was always in a hurry to do everything. I had kids young and I worked young and I didn't have time to go back to school because I wasn't willing to give up anything that I had.

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.

I love all of these new products that are coming out, things like headphones with cute, catchy names. There is also so much going on with the marketing of fashion. And then, I still love the classic stuff, like great dresses and wonderful photography.

I always had difficulty as a model just being myself. I can be very shy, and I used to have a lot of anxiety about working on set.
