When you want to do something that is challenging or interesting or new, you never find the place. All the places are obvious or old or generic. And so you realize that the role of architecture is fundamental.
I always have this idea to create and display activities somewhere else around the world, but in fact it's been very difficult since the start, as you have to find the right place that can represent, or could be as significant as, your ideals. It rarely happens.
The content could be done anyplace, but the real invention is the architecture. The architecture is the only work that really defines a new way of doing things. I think this point is fundamental.
The power of the media is really the only new issue in the last 50 years, probably.
The younger generations have their own ideas, they have their own projects. When they talk, I am always surprised how much more lucid and cultivated they are and how they see things in a way that is much more complex than, for example, other generations did.
I don't want to say temporary, because temporary is such a trendy word.
I want to confront myself. I challenge and doubt myself. Basically, what I don't like is to get bored.
I love uniforms because they allow you to hide. No one knows what you are thinking, so it's a very appropriate and correct way to be yourself.
I like to be useful to people.
Fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But very little. After all, if you have a serious drama, who cares about the clothes?
Clothes can be important. I am learning this. For instance, often when I design and I wonder what is the point, I think of someone having a bad time in their life.
I am in a key moment. I kind of understand that I have to use my work more completely without being ashamed.
Prada is something that should be so mundane, like clothes.
I respect my work. But also I think it's very superficial.
Because of the Prada name, I can do things that people normally would not care about in the culture. I can have an exhibit by some forgotten artist who I love, and because it's Prada, people will come see it.
In America many things that are interesting are seen as odd.
My family was too serious. They didn't take care of me - it was a very serious and severe life. Not severe in a bad way; just boring - like totally neutral. I felt no emotion.
I like getting older and being the person who people ask for help.
Women have the stress of being beautiful, of age and youth. Men don't have all that. And with women, that stress causes a lot of mistakes and bad choices - a lot of not being their true self.
The older I get, the more I prefer to talk to old people. Old people or kids.
Men are always much more dignified than most women.
You need to have dignity towards how you are, how you dress, how you behave. Very important.
Sex and the City is the opposite of dignity. You have to have dignity for your body - this is with men and women.
The trouble is, most people are not so generous. Everybody wants love for themselves. I hear this all the time from the women I work with. I hear them say, "I want, I want." I never hear them saying what they want to give.
With women, the more unhappy they are, the more undressed they are.
