I am interested in costume. Clothes in your daily life are important: your choices say something about you, even if what they're saying is about non-choice. And what you wear in a film is crucial.

I think denim is something everyone feels comfortable in. It's kind of my uniform, really.

I actually don't trust anyone who tells me they don't like New York.

I believe you have to make things happen.

I think it's too bad when teenagers become conformist in terms of fashion,because it's the ideal time to go off into your own crazy thing without looking completely idiotic.

I think the people we meet in life and the loves of our lives are very, very important in what we become, like change us - when it's right, probably change us for the best.

You have to encourage people not to give in to the temptation to be normal, even if it isn't easy - because when you're young, you really want to belong.

I'm never anywhere for more than three weeks.

I used to spend hours at night, downstairs, in front of the only full-length mirror in the house, standing on the table working out what I would wear to school the next day.

Ladies, most of you have no idea how beautiful you are. Don't let mean words from an insecure soul blind you from the truth of your beauty. You are beautiful by design... just the way you are.

Follow your intuition, listening to your dreams, your inner voice to guide you.

I know a lot of the work that paved the way for women happened before I was around... I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, but maybe that's because I've never really faced inequality.

One day you too may experience what I have experienced. So right away go and practise.

Nothing is as eloquent as nothing.

A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it.

We all need that experience of forgetting who you are. Forgetting who you are is such a delicious experience and so frightening that we're in this conflicted predicament.

Do not wait for a reason to be happy.

War makes good history but peace is poor reading.

You cannot do anything without rousing the masses to action.
