I am really cautious about what I say and do.

Remember, people only rain on your parade because they're jealous of your sun and tired of their shade.

If I don't like something that's going on in my life, I change it. And I don't sit and complain about it for a year.

I've made mistakes in my life for sure.

Embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, "I'm curvy, and I'm proud of it now".

I'm not trying to influence anyone else; I'm not saying, "Do what I do." I think it's a little pretentious to say, "I'm a role model"; I would never say that, and I don't think of myself that way.

I love when people underestimate me and then become pleasantly surprised.

It's time to recognise the Armenian Genocide.

Take and chance and don't ever look back. Never have regrets, just lessons learned.

I love the sun but don't have the time to get a good tan and keep it year-round, so I am a huge fan of tanning products.

I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic.

There is no financial plateau that you cannot reach

Ultimately humanity is one, and this small planet is our only home. If we're to protect this home of ours, each of us needs to experience a vivid sense of universal altruism and compassion.

The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.

Building new connections is a critical part of building a new economy. The American education system, as flawed as it is, is great for the creative class because of the way it mixes up networks.

I don't believe much in luck. I believe more in work, in convincing, in stubbornness and in capacity.

A mind grows by what it feeds on.

I grew up an only child, so I was so much more adult. My eldest daughter is 10, and I was so much more of an adult than she is. She just doesn't care for the real world. She's not interested.

The funny thing is, strangers still seem to feel comfortable coming up to me and saying things, but now usually it’s because they recognize me, and they say nice things.

I hate anything that occupies more space than it is worth... I hate to see a parcel of big words without anything in them.
