I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.

Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right.

Love is a piano dropped from a fourth story window, and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The frontiers we broke into in the '60s are still largely unexplored.

My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt 'n' Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.
