To me, my mother was Audrey Dotti. I never realized she was Audrey Hepburn. I didn't know she was a movie star. She always looked at my father like he was the center of attention. She was a simple country girl. Mum was adorable, of course, but I did not find her the least bit exciting. She wasn't living her life as an icon. She didn't live in a castle behind bars. She wasn't driven in a limo. She was walking with her dog most of the time. If you imagine my mother in fashion, she started with Givenchy and Valentino, but at that end of her life, she was happier in jeans and a T-shirt. She didn't have to impress anyone, really. It was what she loved and how she lived. She stayed true to herself throughout her life. [Interview, 2015]
