people
My first year, people were interested in me because I was new. Then the press started to come.
amazing clothes fashion favourite sort
I have my favourite fashion decade, yes, yes, yes: '60s. It was a sort of little revolution; the clothes were amazing but not too exaggerated.
beautiful fashion want
I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.
home differences people
When I entertain at home, I take time and pleasure in the small details that make all the difference. Entertaining is about giving to people and sharing with them.
clothes alive feels
Only wear clothes that make you feel alive.
successful people work-out
Luck is one thing. It has always been there, it has always been a part of my success. It's a part of everyone's success. Without it, you can't be successful. But luck is something you have to stimulate, something you have to nurture through the choices you make...That's why things have always worked out for me. Things work out not just because I'm lucky, but because I plan ahead. I figure out what I want and I go for it. I've always spent a lot of time trying to surround myself with the right people, the kinds of teammates who could lead me to my goals.

The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste.

I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.
fashion ankles evening
An evening dress that reveals a woman's ankles while walking is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

I put the number 7 on my t-shirt because this is the number of my championships but also because it was the number of Barry Sheene, who was a great hero of mine and a truly great racer,
fashion moments vulgar
I didn't like the '80s at all; it was a vulgar moment of fashion.

I am always locked in my design studio.
