You don't want to exaggerate any feature noticeably. I think only truly beautiful women can exaggerate and they usually don't have to.

You can learn a lot from my mistakes more than my success.
school years giving
The other day I went to a school in Harlem to talk to some 7th graders [12-year-olds] and I said, ‘If I have to give you some advice, the most important thing is: the sooner you become your own best friend, the better your life will be,’

It's not about going to a party. It's life as a party.

Silence, nothing is better.

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.

For me, traveling and living are the same. How you travel is a symbol of your life.
zippers dresses different
The wrap dress is the most traditional form of dressing: It's like a robe, it's like a kimono, it's like a toga. It doesn't have buttons or zippers. What made it different was that it was jersey; therefore, it was close to the body and it was a print.
thinking together rooms
You know, there's a thing about the woman across the room. You see the woman across the room, you think, She's so poised; she's so together. But she looks at you and you are the woman across the room for her.
looks ifs
Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good.

Now is the time to become a myth.

The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.
real stories compromise
The real story is that I am very free, that I've managed to be who I wanted to be without compromising.
