“I spent half my life being hurt. The leftovers of hurt are an automatic gesture, like a dog that salivates.”

“I am a great believer in luck.”

“I have programmed myself to be at least 105 years old.”

“Looks, health and elegance are what counts. Someone can look wonderful in a sweatsuit.”

“At the very beginning of my career, when I opened my business in Italy, I was also a ranked tennis player. I had won many tournaments. To be an athlete was my first choice. Second choice: designer. However! There was more money in being a designer at that time.”

“I drive my own horses in a race. And I always have.”

“Life is such a tragicomedy.”

“The best of life is to embark on an adventure with a woman interested in having an adventure with you.”
