Donatella Versace

It's very important for a brand to have an identity through the years, but it's very important as well to evolve because times change so fast.

Hollywood is a very inspiring place.

We all retire one day. If we want to, if we don't want to.

When I work, I wear pants usually because I want to be comfortable. I wear dark colors, especially in winter, because I don't want to concentrate on myself but on what I'm working on. Because I really, really love clothes, I can start to think too much about myself. It's distracting.

I love anyone who breaks the rules, and musicians always break the rules - in an aggressive way.

I think there was a time when I was too strict and controlling. I think I asphyxiated my children.

In order to be responsible, you need some discipline in your life. For a while I lost mine.

How do I keep young? Haven't you heard? I sleep every night in the deep freezer!

Something has to change in the world. Without change, young people will have no future.

I think men know to seduce women though words and conversation and nice gestures. That's much sexier than when a man uses muscle.

You can have small moments of happiness in life. You certainly can't expect years and years of it.

I have an image of what a British gentleman looks like, and that image finds real expression in Prince Charles. He is beyond fashion - he is an archetype of style.

The body should be reconfigured by the clothes, never again the other way round.

Die and born again, die and born again. It's the story of my life.

In my life I had no other choice than to become a strong person.

For me, music gives a voice to fashion.

I have long been a fan and enthusiast where art is concerned.

The suit does not represent the businessman anymore. Nor does the loud shirt represent the rock star. The same man can now wear both.

The man of the millennium is much more liberated than the man of the '90s.

Many young people don't know what Versace represent. I want to show what makes Versace an iconic brand.
