It makes me feel wonderful that people still care for me... that I have so many fans among young people, who write to me and tell me I have been an inspiration.

Young people have so many letdowns that people don't realize.

Many young people don't know what Versace represent. I want to show what makes Versace an iconic brand.

With my writing, what I want to do is humanize the young people I write about.

It's amazing to me that young people will still pick up a cigarette.

Getting comments like that from even the young people at the shows who probably aren't singers, the girls who just tell me that I'm an inspiration to them, for one reason or another.
