One person told me that every time she wears Lanvin men fall in love with her, and I thought that was so beautiful. The other one told me that she was in a taxi going to face her husband’s lawyer because she was getting a divorce, but she was wearing Lanvin and she felt so protected. If I can make men fall in love with women and if I can protect women, I think I can die peacefully.

I never lived anywhere very long when I was a kid; we moved around all the time. I moved here when I was 19, and I never felt in all the cities that I lived in, which was seven or eight, I never felt that anywhere was home until I moved here. And no city was a kind of tough, magnificent, big, messy friend of mine. Its arms kind of elbowed me sometimes and hugged me other times. Every time I get off the plane, I tell my wife that by the time I walk out of Kennedy, I’m a little taller, better looking, and smarter.
