“If you’re a good person, the goodness will continue through your descendants.”

Some fairy tales end with the girl marrying the prince some start there.

You know, there’s a thing about the woman across the room. You see the woman across the room, you think, She’s so poised; she’s so together. But she looks at you and you are the woman across the room for her.

Attitude is everything.

Usually, the fairy tale ends with the girl marrying the prince. But mine started as soon as the marriage was over.

The relationship that counts most in my life is the one I have with myself. I have a great, great, great relationship with myself, and it gets better and better as I get older. The other day, I was talking to Barry in the car and I said, ‘I’m so glad I’m me!’

I design for the woman who loves being a woman.

Don’t talk about your diet. It’s just boring, and the last thing you need when dieting is to be considered boring.

I don’t care about fashion, I care about women.

Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good.

My best friend is me, and I take good care of me.

If you’re not sure what to wear, if you don’t know how everyone else is going to be, then just be at your most beautiful.

I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I always knew the woman I wanted to be.

The easier your hair is to manage the happier you’ll be with it and the prettier you’ll feel.

It’s like learning to fall properly. If you can manage not to tighten up you won’t hurt yourself as much. The same theory applies to your day, physically and emotionally. The tensions simply can’t take hold.

I am a traveler. I am a nomad. I rarely sleep in the same bed more than three or four nights. And I know hotel life better than anyone.

I wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life – and I became that woman.

Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.

I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post, which any human power can give.

Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law.

Life is beautiful. It’s about giving. It’s about family.

I have so much admiration for women who are mothers, who balance family and work.

When mother is happy, family is happy. When family is happy, nation is happy.

The number one reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.

A man should never neglect his family for business.
