For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?

If your wearing lingerie that makes you feel glamorous, you're halfway thereto turning heads.

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.

I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself. When I'm serene, when I'm a good person, when I've been considerate of others.

I remember hearing once that good girls don't get caught. I think that's sort of a lot of what my teen years were like.

The customer is always right! John Wanamaker must be turning in his grave. If you're a customer today, you're an intruder.

Dostoevski was on to something. You are the path you choose. You are what your vocation is

I would like to be known as someone who was really sweet but also knowledgeable in all areas of life.

If you want your kids to listen to you, don't yell at them. Whisper. Make them lean in. My kids taught me that. And I do it with adults now.

You never get bored ... when you have the probabilities of your next meal to speculate on, pro and con.
