I definitely spend the most money on shoes, partly because vintage footwear can be a little funky - in a bad way. I like to keep things pretty simple up top and then go weird with the shoes.

I bought a pair of Birkenstocks today - let's be real. I wanted a chunky sandal that was functional. That should tell you where I am at as far as fashion.

I do a dance-based cardio workout infused with circuit training, and emphasizing strength and alignment.

I'm single, so I'm trying to do an overall overhaul. The look I'm going for is very '80s supermodel. It's time to be sexy.

I'm a sucker for packaging!

As of late, I am more of a homebody. I like having people over. You can smoke in the apartment. I'm just not into going out so much. The crowd is getting younger and younger.

New York is so diverse. When you're on the street or in the subway, you're experiencing more of the diversity of New York.

Fashion embraces the weirdos. They're into that. There are always young people that people in fashion are interested in. You know, youth and vitality and energy - it brings something different.

It's like you always have to put on a happy face, be the phony baloney, and I'm so not that. I never was that; I'll never be that. That is part of the business that I don't like.

I'm more conservative with make-up. My everyday look is a bit of concealer with lots and lots of mascara.

Passion lingers on a state of blissLove loves you more when you kiss

Understand why you are different and how you help, recognise your target market, and give them something they might not even realise they are missing.

Away with all these gods and godlings

When things get so absurd and so stupid and so ridiculous that you just can't bear it, you cannot help but turn everything into a joke.

I love the protests. And if you think about it, what better way to send a message to Wall Street than by sitting in a pup tent banging on a drum.

My writing has developed drastically . The Return of the Prodigal Son is the most important thing I've done, and my most mature book.

The most magnificent creature in the entire world, the tiger is.

To listen to the silence is to hear the heartbeat of the Universe.

The ornaments of our homes are the friends that visit it

I've always admired people who are over-prepared.
