“Be kind to yourself.”

When I was 13 years old, my mom had me start getting facials in my hometown of Los Angeles.

I’m deeply and passionately involved in the design process. I’m a brash American, and if my name is going to be on something, I’m going to have my say.

The best job a man could have would be a chef. They’d understand the long hours I work and the drive and ambition it takes to succeed.

Definitely working on ‘Deal or No Deal’ was a learning experience, and it helped me to understand what I would rather be doing.

Fragrance is my favorite thing. So much so that if I leave the house and I don’t put any on, I’ll turn around and go back home.

I went to an all-girls’ Catholic school for, like, six years during the time when kids actually had handwriting class. I’ve always had a propensity for getting the cursive down pretty well.

When I’m traveling, I won’t miss an opportunity to try great pasta.

My God, I think about way back in the day when we were running around in Mary Janes and Doc Martens, that whole 90210-inspired look. I’m glad that’s long gone.

The holidays are a time to – not quite play it safe – but play it classic. You don’t want to be the girl in a head-to-toe sequin look, where you look like you should be an ornament on the tree.

I’ve always shopped on the sale rack, and I’ve always been the girl flipping through the hangers trying to find the best deal.

I would love to do anything from a really gritty, interesting, indie type film, to that commercial, bigger stuff.

I can’t stand it when men are snarky.

Throwing on a black dress with black tights, cute booties, a great coat and throw a scarf over it. I think simple accessories and, if you want to make a pop, a great red lip.

My dad is Caucasian, and my mom is African American. I’m half black and half white. Being biracial paints a blurred line that is equal parts staggering and illuminating.

People don’t need to feel scared about a leather pant. Think of it as a jean alternative: it’s the same thing. It’s almost like they’re your yoga pants, but they look chic.

Curl the lashes, concealer under the eyes, blush, ChapStick, and highlight in the inner corner of the eye.

Don’t confuse my kindness for foolishness. Understanding and forgiveness are two different things.

Be kind to yourself, the change for the good starts with you.

Our deepest connections are those created in peace and loving-kindness.

Respect and kindness are human rights not privileges.

The kindness of some soul is what a broken heart needs.

We can change the world with one act of kindness a day.

Don’t look at her kind eyes and mistake it for kindness, you are yet unaware about the audacity in her bones and strength in her veins.

Kindness affects both humans and plants.
