Milan is showing a new and different face. At Porta Nuova, too, when they started construction, everyone was up in arms, saying Milan was going to lose its character.

I don't like fashionistas. They only wear the brand. You want to become a fashionista? Easy! Spend money.

Giving back is the new luxury.

My view is not just to find young talents, it's to support them too.

Bloggers now have no concept. They are given things; they put them on, take pictures, and then just disappear from sight. Who cares?

Fashion is a mirror of the era in which we live. Why should the magazine be disconnected from reality? It's not like in the past.

I feel what is in the air. I go with my instinct.

Think of Instagram. Journalism will continue to exist, but communication is now visual.

Social media are fundamental to communicate and understand what happens in the world. It's a point of view and an immediate commentary.

We determine the destiny of our nation

I never cry about what I don't have. I'm always positive.

How would you define [Bob] Dylan? You can't. That's a true artist. How about Ray Charles? Can you classify Ray Charles? No, you can't. He's just great, period.

Those undeserved joys which come uncalled and make us more pleased than grateful are they that sing.

The people who put you down don't have to stop you from chasing your dreams. Stand up, and prove them wrong.

The dream acts as a safety-valve for the over-burdened brain.

Make friends with your caddie and the game will make friends with you.
