I'm a designer, and I work very hard at that. People sometimes want to put down fashion by saying it's frivolous or superficial, but it's not that way at all. It's actually very hard work.
You can have small moments of happiness in life. You certainly can't expect years and years of it.
Women are all the same; we want to be smaller in the waist, longer legs, slimmer. I design for women and their defects, to make them better.
I know who the Versace woman is, because I wear the clothes myself.
You can't pretend that everybody likes Versace. It would be boring. It's better to create a reaction than to create no reaction. That's dangerous.
I don't like balance. Balance is not a word you can use in Versace fashion.
