I hope people will say, 'Mr. Valentino, he did something for fashion, no?

Elegance is the balance between PROPORTION, EMOTION & SURPRISE.

I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.

Only wear clothes that make you feel alive.

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.

I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.

I am like a freight train. Working on the details, twisting them and playing with them over the years, but always staying on the same track.

There are only three things I can do - make a dress, decorate a house, and entertain people.

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.

An evening dress that reveals a woman's ankles while walking is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

I like things simple.

It would seem very silly to start a conversation with a common hedgehog. They are not at all like cats, who surely understand the human language.

Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand.

Some coaches pray for wisdom. I pray for 260-pound tackles. They'll give me plenty of wisdom.

I see parents who bring their kids down because their parents did that to them, instead of reinforcing their gifts, and instilling a sense of what they came to this earth to do.

It is embarrassing that the United States is so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to mCommerce.

To have control of my own mind... to go with dignity is less terryfying. When I look at both options I have to die, I feel this is far more humane.

Obedience to the will of God is the pathway to perpetual honor and everlasting joy.

There is so much media now with the Internet and people, and so easy and so cheap to start a newspaper or start a magazine, there's just millions of voices and people want to be heard.

There's nothing harder than going on TV and saying something that you don't believe. I don't do that anymore.

The usual complaint is, 'I have no other way of earning a living.' The harsh reply can be, 'Do you have to live?'
