In the past, people were born royal. Nowadays, royalty comes from what you do.

Fashion needs incredible women, alive, stimulating, with style like Diana Vreeland. She is the most. The way she talks expresses all her values.
The environment was so strong, so dramatic. Tragedy is all over Calabria; it's in the air. All this corresponds to my temperament.
At the beginning of my career, it was very hard to go up. Now, it's very hard to stay on top. You have to stay there, and I want to stay there so badly. I'm still standing.
