original, life always came with fireworks. i don t think there was a model that wasn t involved with him. he was on top of a mountain. andrew cunanan lusted for a taste of that world, versace seemed to personify a lot that he wanted to be. he always had a big want, oh, i want that, i would like that what was he willing to do to get it? he looked at me and he said, you have no idea what i am capable of. there was a rug that was rolled up and there was a body inside. he kept the guy in his truck. and then he really became their prime, and only suspect. by that time, he was far away. it seems like we were always one step behind him. andrew, just walked up right behind him and shot him. we just heard another gunshot. it s gianni versace. a lot of things were left unanswered. he was determined to be remembered. the only way to be remembered is to kill for fame. he was willing to kill for fame. once there was a true genius who conquered the
