“I like to reinvent myself – it’s part of my job.”

My hair is not really white; it’s kind of grayish, and I don’t like the color. So I make it totally white with Klorane dry shampoo. That is the best thing to do because my hair is always clean.

If you stick to something doggedly, you are off to a bad start.

I think that it’s a crime to say you are bored when time is so precious and there are so many things to do in life: read, learn, watch.

Normal people think I’m insane.

Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight.

You come first, the clothes later. Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Be creative.

I want to take the helm and be a renegade cop, or something like that.

I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May ‘43.

I’ve never bought a boxed set DVD or anything like that.

That you can gather votes like box tops

I don’t think anyone can predict what the short term will look like. In the long term, it will be a Syria without Bashar Assad

Some real well thought out stuff. But I don’t know, like, every last detail about Buddhism.

And I’m like, “I don’t know. That’s just the way I am.” So if I found the perfect girl she would totally get that and say, “You’re quiet, and that’s the way I love you.
