Venice never quite seems real, but rather an ornate film set suspended on the water.

My biggest satisfaction is always when I make something beautiful and well-done that I can see on a real man or woman - not only in the glossy magazines.

A day on a film set is maddening.

I have an Italian comedy at the Venice Film Festival.

When I joined Gucci in 2002, I immediately wanted to make a research trip into the archives because I'd heard about how incredible they were, but I never had the opportunity to visit them.

Steven Spielberg could not have put together a film as dramatic as this. To see people wading in poisonous water, coming into the downtown area with families, asking 'Where do we go? Where are the police?,' and people sleeping on highway ramps—no one expected that.
