“The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.”

For me, traveling and living are the same. How you travel is a symbol of your life.

I was born in Belgium. I went to school in England and in Switzerland, then I came to America, so I really feel like I am a citizen of the world.

The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.

The secret is to enjoy being you.

Simplicity and sexiness, that’s what people want. At a price that’s not outrageous.

When you get into a hotel room, you lock the door, and you know there is a secrecy, there is a luxury, there is fantasy. There is comfort. There is reassurance.

If there is one rule for dressing, for fashion, it’s pretty much the same rule as for everything else in life: Don’t go against yourself, don’t go against your own nature. It’s only going to show.

It’s important to leave your face without makeup for a while after waking up, Let your skin breathe a while before applying your makeup, even if it means waking up a bit earlier.

You know I have never met a woman who is not strong. They don’t exist.

The secret to a great marriage is having a great husband.

I communicate mostly via e-mail and receive hundreds of e-mails a day.

Use your brains, your common sense, and do not become an object. The way you look is important, but who you are and how you project it is eventually who you will become and how you will appear.

Building a wardrobe is like building a circle of friends your whole life…. Your own beauty is to be yourself, but of course we need tools and accessories.

The important thing is to believe in what you do. Have a big dream and take small steps.

I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, but I knew the woman I wanted to become.

Do I believe in reincarnation? Well, let’s say that I believe in karma. I think you make your own karma.

The first principle of solid wisdom is discretion, without it all the erudition of life is merely bagatelle.

It has been my philosophy of life that difficulties vanish when faced boldly.

Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.

Misery is not given by anyone or anything in life. It is your own mind which makes you miserable or happy and uplifted.

There is hope for the future, and when the world is ready for a new and better life, all these things will some day come to pass, – in God’s good time.

Note to self: no matter how bad life gets, there’s always beer.

Working is part of life, I don’t know how to distinguish between the two. Work is an expression of life.

I have absolutely no complaints about my life. But people think I got handed everything, all this kind of fell in my lap, that I was just God-gifted with all this talent. I wanted people to realize it’s a lot tougher than just waking up one day and you’re in the NHL.
