My mother was kind and forgiving and would take in all the waifs and strays in our neighbourhood; we always compared her to Mother Teresa. She taught me a lot.

I consider myself to be respectful, and I believe this is a main value for sports.

If I see someone wearing Hilfiger it makes me proud, but then I wonder what I could do to make the style more relevant for them next year?

No one is an inventor in the fashion business. Designers recreate fashion.

Always stay focused. Always give and try your best.

When travelling, dress as comfortably as possible and don't have expectations of everything going perfectly.

I try not to have regrets and to learn from every experience.
