On Dolce and Gabbana: "My babies! I love them, I love them, I love them."
On Donatella Versace: "We've always had a very sweet relationship. I really got to know her more after her brother had died."
On Georgina Chapman: "She could be a model-but meanwhile she's down there pinning and sewing all these things all over you!"
On shooting in Washington Heights with Oscar de la Renta: "We were in the hoody! All kinds of locals hanging around, eating out of paper bags, thinking, what's going on here? It was crazy."
On being pregnant and commissioning a book of photos of herself for Marc two weeks before giving birth: "I was like, How am I going to rock this moment of my life?... I felt very womanly. Marc was in a dream. He loved it."
On not being able to get pregnant right away: "We knew nothing was wrong with either one of us-I had been checked, and he had kids already. I knew Something's not ready here, in my head or in my life, and when it is, I know it's going to happen."
On first realizing she was pregnant: "I was sitting down doing hair and makeup and I felt a flutter. The weirdest little…flourish. My makeup artist said 'What's the matter?' I didn't say anything, but in my head, I was like, I have life inside me!"
On her pregnancy: "We came off tour and I said 'I did the superwoman thing, I finished the tour-now I need you to take care of me. I love doing things for you; if I'm not cooking, then I'm picking out a shirt. But this is the first time in my life where I'm just going to be a little bit selfish. I don't know if I'm going to have kids again, so I want it to be a beautiful experience. I don't want to have any drama. I want to just be smiling every day.'" .
