“It’s really never fair to judge people because none of us know what’s going on inside anyone else’s head.”

If I’m sending emails, and I get all wound up and stressed and don’t know what to do with myself for 20 minutes, I just go soak in hot water and lie there, thinking, ‘What should I do?’ So it’s meditative.

I am one of those people who isn’t great at anything, but I’m pretty good at most things.

I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.

The seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love.

It’s hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.

What is important is that we stop and realize, “Okay. This is fine. I can enjoy that. But what is really important, what I’m really going to take away with me from this life, is my connection with other people.

I know one day I’ll be irrelevant. No matter how hard you try there is a cultural moment, but eventually that window’s gone, your time on Earth is finished, and you might as well leave. I could absolutely die tomorrow – I would not care. I feel like I’ve lived, I feel like I’ve had a great life.

Want girls to let you put your fingers in certain places? Get a manicure.

When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.

On the one hand, I want to go off and live in the desert with my dog and sculpt things out of adobe.

Perfection is almost an illness with me, but sometimes I have moments where everything is absolutely clear and you can feel, rather than think.

Real fashion change comes from real changes in real life. Everything else is just decoration.

Oh my God, so many young girls now look like whores!

I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don’t really need to have New Year’s resolutions.

I think that the older you get, the more you become your true, essential self. You find the things that make you happy. You whittle away the parts of yourself that mean less to you.

I suppose, yes, I’ve been guilty of provocation but it’s also just common sense marketing – put a bottle of scent in a woman’s cleavage, or between her thighs – and men will notice.

My goal is not to shove information into your head. It’s to find ways to reignite the curiosity that we all had as children for the natural world. You don’t have to tell a child to explore the backyard.

The first woman was created from the rib of a man. She was not made from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal to him.

Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart.

This is what the heart wants. This is what the head won’t get.

People really don’t have to give you anything, so appreciate what people give you. And just don’t let that go to your head, whatever it is they give you.

You must always be prepared to place a bet on yourself, on your future, by heading in a direction that others seem to fear.

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head, and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart. The degree to which you do either of these things is the degree to which you’ll be ruled by what other people think of you.
