“I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.”

I think my confidence has developed over the years in terms of the speed at which I will reveal how collaborative I want to be.

I was a handful growing up.

I’ve thought for a long time that my body type would have worked well in the ’70s. The idea that you could be a broad-shouldered, small-breasted woman and still wear really great outfits.

You’re going to change as you grow older, and that messes up a lot of relationships.

A good litmus test is that you should be comfortable with your significant other being present when you hang out with your friend.

I’m still a student of fashion, but I like hooking up with the people that really know how to make cool clothes.

I enjoy getting gussied up for an event or date night.

I have a great pack of female friends, but I also have a lot of guy friends. I believe that platonic relationship is entirely possible.

I grew up being told by my parents each time they went off to war that they may explode, so I needed to know how things like the gadgets in the kitchen worked.

I’ve always been a fan of science fiction.

I trust work, directors – I don’t live in fear. All good experiences have come from trusting the universe. There is no other way to live or love. Otherwise, you create your own prison.

I was a tomboy and I didn’t have a bunch of brothers but I always wanted them and so I sort of adopted a few of my great friends to be my brother.

If I could play drums like Patrick Carney or Taylor Hawkins, I’d be a really happy person.

I love yoga and hiking – I think that’s the perfect combo.

I went to a very progressive elementary school where I was heavily educated in civil rights. I remember learning about Harvey Milk when I was in sixth or seventh grade and being so inspired.

People think that young people don’t care about things, but I think they do care; they just aren’t super interested in conforming to what older people think are the right way to do things.

Great companies are defined by their discipline and their understanding of who they are and who they are not.

What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.

True definition of science: the study of the beauty of the world.

God’s definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

Human identity is no longer defined by what one does but rather by what one owns.

The mind defines, decides, doubts and divides – only the heart truly binds.

People are not allowed to tell you who you are. Period.

The secret to productive goal setting is in establishing clearly defined goals, writing them down and then focusing on them several times a day with words, pictures and emotions as if we’ve already achieved them.
