Mickey Boardman: You spent a lot of time at Studio 54.
Diane von Furstenberg: It was the best pickup place in the world. But I was not really somebody who stayed hours and hours and went downstairs and did drugs and things like that.

But I am not a nightclub hag, you know? I would meet friends there, but the arrival, myself, in that long corridor with the disco music, Studio 54 was about that.
