“Put on a sweater and really great sneakers with a big scarf, and you’ll look so stylish. For me, they are an everyday essential.”

I’m deeply and passionately involved in the design process. I’m a brash American, and if my name is going to be on something, I’m going to have my say.

The best job a man could have would be a chef. They’d understand the long hours I work and the drive and ambition it takes to succeed.

Definitely working on ‘Deal or No Deal’ was a learning experience, and it helped me to understand what I would rather be doing.

Fragrance is my favorite thing. So much so that if I leave the house and I don’t put any on, I’ll turn around and go back home.

I went to an all-girls’ Catholic school for, like, six years during the time when kids actually had handwriting class. I’ve always had a propensity for getting the cursive down pretty well.

When I’m traveling, I won’t miss an opportunity to try great pasta.

My God, I think about way back in the day when we were running around in Mary Janes and Doc Martens, that whole 90210-inspired look. I’m glad that’s long gone.

The holidays are a time to – not quite play it safe – but play it classic. You don’t want to be the girl in a head-to-toe sequin look, where you look like you should be an ornament on the tree.

I’ve always shopped on the sale rack, and I’ve always been the girl flipping through the hangers trying to find the best deal.

I would love to do anything from a really gritty, interesting, indie type film, to that commercial, bigger stuff.

Be kind to yourself.

I can’t stand it when men are snarky.

Throwing on a black dress with black tights, cute booties, a great coat and throw a scarf over it. I think simple accessories and, if you want to make a pop, a great red lip.

My dad is Caucasian, and my mom is African American. I’m half black and half white. Being biracial paints a blurred line that is equal parts staggering and illuminating.

People don’t need to feel scared about a leather pant. Think of it as a jean alternative: it’s the same thing. It’s almost like they’re your yoga pants, but they look chic.

Curl the lashes, concealer under the eyes, blush, ChapStick, and highlight in the inner corner of the eye.

Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

There are more important things than outward appearance. No amount of makeup can cover an ugly personality.

I don’t understand referees. It appears like some players can’t even be touched, but in my case, everyone can hit me as hard as they can.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

Know you not that a good man does nothing for appearance sake, but for the sake of having done right?

In the long run managements stressing accounting appearance over economic substance usually achieve little of either.

When the student is ready the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready. The teacher will Disappear.

The turning points of lives are not the great moments. The real crises are often concealed in occurrences so trivial in appearance that they pass unobserved.
