Anything I do, I do with my heart. This is why I sometimes get very upset or sometimes get very personal when I'm working.
There was a loneliness because kids my age had video games, tennis. They traveled. They had beautiful clothes. I was wearing my sisters' old clothes that were adjusted on me, because we didn't have money to buy clothes. So that really made me go deep inside on my heart, because the only things I could have with me were my heart and my brain.
I think my heart is in a very good place. And I think this is why I'm achieving what I've been asking to do in the universe for so long.
For me, aesthetically, Donatella Versace represent what the Italian woman is. There is always the American rock thing, the aristocratic, above-the-rest British manner, but Italy is at the heart of it.
When I was far away, when I prayed every night, I felt I was very near with my heart, with my brain, to my sisters and my mom.
