"The real story is that I am very free, that I've managed to be who I wanted to be without compromisi..." — Diane von Furstenberg

Do I believe in reincarnation? Well, let's say that I believe in karma. I think you make your own karma.

My mother never, ever told me about evilness. She only saw the beautiful things... she wanted to protect me from it.

I was born in Belgium. I went to school in England and in Switzerland, then I came to America, so I really feel like I am a citizen of the world.

I was lucky enough to have it all. To be successful in business, to have children, to raise them on my own, and to travel and live my life. It was a lot of work, but it's a privilege to have been able to do it.
