“You can’t fake anything. If you’re honest and true and you love something, and you put that energy into it, people can usually feel it on the other side.”

There are no right or wrong answers, There is only intuition.

Keep your jacket buttoned. Always. It’s just really flattering—it will take pounds off you.

Both film and fashion are businesses where the audience doesn’t feel or see the work that goes on behind the scenes.

Men don’t wear fashion any more except in Italy and London. Americans have lost that.

I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job, people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person.

Only hire people you want to have dinner with.

British people still wear clothes. By clothes I mean actual clothes: jackets and shirts and ties and suits. English men make an effort. We’ve lost that in the US. Everyone is more concerned with being comfortable.

A film should be somewhat personal. I think that whatever you create you have to be true to yourself and create something that feels right to you.

I understand that I have a certain look that can be used to my advantage. I know the power of that when I walk into a room and talk to people, and I can use it as an advertising tool. Now I am actually selling me, my face, my thoughts. So I am my guy.

If I’m sending emails, and I get all wound up and stressed and don’t know what to do with myself for 20 minutes, I just go soak in hot water and lie there, thinking, ‘What should I do?’ So it’s meditative.

I am one of those people who isn’t great at anything, but I’m pretty good at most things.

It’s really never fair to judge people because none of us know what’s going on inside anyone else’s head.

I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.

The seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love.

It’s hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.

What is important is that we stop and realize, “Okay. This is fine. I can enjoy that. But what is really important, what I’m really going to take away with me from this life, is my connection with other people.

I’m into crystals and good energy and harnessing more. It’s just like prayer. It helps you be grateful, think about good things, and keep that positive energy around you.

One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don’t invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.

When I used to be on stage, I used to be out of breath; I couldn’t walk that far. Now, I got so much energy. I can do a whole show.

Because the development of inner calm & energy happens completely within & isn’t dependent on another person or a particular situation, we begin to feel a resourcefulness and independence that is quite beautiful—and a huge relief.

The fundamental concept in social science is power, in the same sense in which energy is the fundamental concept in physics.

It is a waste of energy to be angry with a man who behaves badly, just as it is to be angry with a car that won’t go.

Surround yourself with energy that protects your energy.

Give your energy to those who intend to nourish it and not exhaust it.
