“I think I became my own stylist by not knowing any better.”

If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would.

Honestly, I’m so sick of myself.

I should hope I dress differently at 25 than I did when I graduated high school. I hope I never stop changing.

I have to learn to knit.

My first child is going to be the oldest sibling to the next kid, and that may change with each and every year. I’m looking forward to how one baby influences the other, and to my family as a whole, to every single chapter.

The Green Lantern is a unique superhero because it’s not that he’s super that is his focus; it’s that he’s a man. He’s very human. That’s his greatest strength and his greatest weakness.

Scents evoke very, very powerful memories, whether it’s the scent of someone that you know and someone that you love, or if it’s a meal that your mother made.

I’m offended that I can’t go to the store like that.

Martha Stewart’s my idol.

I can’t believe we’re being paid to live in New York.

Fragrance is a bit of a selfish gift because it’s comforting when you’re near someone and you recognize their smell.

My mom taught me this really great beauty tip. She used to put oil or mayonnaise on the bottom half of her hair before she would shower.

In high school, there are so many cliques. You’re never safe.

I can read a four-page scene once and have it memorized. It’s a skill you learn in school: disposable cramming.

It’s difficult to wear such high Louboutins and also freestyle rap.

I need good friends who can say, ‘I love you to death, but you look terrible in that, and you need to change right now.’

Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Improvise. Become more creative. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Evolution is the secret for the next step.

The basic work of health professionals in general, and of psychotherapist s in particular, is to become full human beings and to inspire full human-beingness in other people who feel starved about their lives.

A country is considered the more civilised the more the wisdom and efficiency of its laws hinder a weak man from becoming too weak and a powerful one too powerful.

Life is a lively process of becoming.

Before I became the ‘Great Test of the West,” I was the ‘Beast of the East.’

There is very little distance between being a fool and being wise; they are extremely close. When we are really, truly fools, when we actually acknowledge our foolishness, then we are way ahead. We are not even in the process of becoming wise – we are already wise.

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I’ve done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?

The acorn becomes an oak by means of automatic growth; no commitment is necessary. The kitten similarly becomes a cat on the basis of instinct. Nature and being are identical in creatures like them. But a man or woman becomes fully human only by his or her choices and his or her commitment to them.
