I'm very involved in my business and with my family and my friends. I don't play the social world very much, and not to promote my product. I do it for the philanthropic problems because there I feel that I'm making a difference, and that I'm helping. So I do it in a soulful way.

And I said, I love Casablanca lilies, I love the smell of your neck and I love suede. If you can combine these three together, we can discuss it.
