“It’s such an old-fashioned attitude to make people feel like they’re not good enough for your clothes. That’s so negative and so old-fashioned and wrong.”

I read once that elegance is a privilege of age. I thought, that’s so true. You get more comfortable with yourself as you get older.

I was an okay singer. I was an okay dancer. But acting? Never could do it.

I consider all of my pieces to be investment pieces. A dress shouldn’t be worn for one season – you should be able to wear it year after year.

I like a man who can be a real friend, has a good sense of humor, a good pair of shoes and a healthy gold card.

I want my kids to have a good work ethic. I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.

The knife’s edge that separates failure from success in life. That edge is your attitude, which has the power to help shape your reality.

As an actor, my attitude towards using of film versus digital is, if you have film, filmmakers have to cut eventually so you don’t have to learn all that dialogue. With digital, they can just go on forever and it’s a nightmare. So, I like film – nice short takes.

I have this theory that, depending on your attitude, your life doesn’t have to become this ridiculous charade that it seems so many people end up living.

People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless. And if I find the man who is calling me ruthless, I shall destroy him.
