Elegance is the balance between PROPORTION, EMOTION & SURPRISE.

My normal life is like being on holiday.

I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.

Even as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that.

I put the number 7 on my t-shirt because this is the number of my championships but also because it was the number of Barry Sheene, who was a great hero of mine and a truly great racer.

It is a big problem and so I don't know for sure if I say yes or no to Ferrari.

I hope people will say, 'Mr. Valentino, he did something for fashion, no?
