“I make things of my own that aren’t that glam, but I’m not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.”

I love a black wedding dress.

I was stigmatized by being a bridal designer for a long time. I am amazed I have been able to move beyond it. I had really all but given up trying, but I did it because it was my lifelong dream.

The funny thing is that I’m the girl who no one sees at the beach. Ask anyone who’s traveled with me. Normally, I’m in so many layers, I look like Lawrence of Arabia!

I brought color to bridal. There was one whole season of blush. If you think about the bareness, the illusion (fabric), the corsets that I did in bridal, they were trends in ready-to-wear, too.

A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.

Just because you’re from a city ten miles outside of St. Paul. It doesn’t mean you don’t read magazines, or the incredible Internet, and what’s going on in the world. I never, ever take a client, or women, for granted.

We got a lot of letters of people who didn’t like them, like my own family who thought they were unnecessary and unpleasant and taking advantage of women in a sad situation – I never saw that. And I think that sometimes, you have to take a risk.

I do speak Mandarin, and I also relate to the hunger that China has for culture and architecture and style.

A girl told me my lips looked like somebody had pressed strawberry yogurt against my face.

In L.A., I’m twice the size – height and everything else – of most of the other actresses who are going for an audition.

I’m excited to be home, not wear makeup, and wear onesies.

I’ve been afraid to look at the woman in the mirror. Everyday she looks less and less like me. It makes me wonder if I’ll ever find my way back home.

Each finite creature can reflect only a fraction of the divine nature; thus, in the diversity of His creatures, God’s infinity, unity and oneness appear to be broken into an effulfgence of manifold rays.

Without the fog, London would not be a beautiful city. It is fog that gives it its magnificent amplitude its regular and massive blocks become grandiose in that mysterious mantle.

For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at any moment.

Prana is more powerful than just about anything – food, exercise, skin creams, and Spanx.
