“I was raised in California, so this whole New York winter thing is completely new for me. I’ve already justified buying seven coats!”

I was always observing my siblings and hearing stories about their lives that turned out to be helpful as an actress.

The older I get, I guess I wear less sparkles.

The most beautiful thing you can wear is confidence.

I don’t believe that there’s a good guy and a bad guy. Unless it’s like Superman or Batman, there is no good guy and bad guy.

If you want someone to miss you, go secretly and spray your fragrance somewhere.

I’m no editor, no artisan, no expert. And certainly no arbiter of what you should buy, wear, or eat.

I was in a show choir. I can’t sing or dance to save my life, but I was very passionate. People said my parents paid the choir director to let me in. It was actually the parents who started that one!

Ngila Dixon is such an incredible costume designer. She’s such a cool, stylish woman. She has such an understanding of character.

My mother had very humble beginnings – to put it mildly. Her dad built their home out of timber that he cut down on their land. No heat, no air-conditioning – ‘no foolishness,’ as he would call it.

I had the Buffalo shoes, a customised Baby Spice necklace – when I say custom-made, it was made out of plastic from the local mall – and a Union Jack dress.

The Unconscious by definition is what you are not conscious of. But the Analysts already know what’s in it – they should, because they put it all in beforehand.

Man is always more than he can know of himself; consequently, his accomplishments, time and again, will come as a surprise to him.

Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you’ll see the way to fly.

At three years of age, the child has already laid the foundations of the human personality and needs the special help of education in the school.

I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age.

To bring anything into your life, imagine that it’s already there.
