I don't sort of sit in a chair and pompously feel proud of myself about all the things we might have accomplished.

I'll never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise - it had been a difficult night the night before - and a client said to me, 'Good God, Vidal, what happened to your face?' And I said, 'Oh, nothing, madam, I just fell over a hairpin.'

Capri on the Amalfi Coast in Italy is my ultimate holiday destination.
