I equate peonies with love because they're the first blooms of summer.

Remember this: No one is looking at your imperfections; they're all too busy worrying about their own.

The last thing I want to become is one of those talking heads where everything is satiny smooth and you know what the next question is going to be

I'm all about exuberance. We only have one short life to live, and we shouldn't waste it being tasteful.

A mutt is couture-it's the only one like it in the world, made especially for you.

Most of my life I was occupied with American television and American food. My ethnicity was my choice. It still is

There's no reason for unhappiness if you're living with nice design.

All I want are high heels, high heels. If I was a girl, I'd wear a lot of high heels. High, stiletto heels.

You know what makes me teary? Goya. Goya makes me cry.

I don't know how one actually would define obscenity. I'm sure the definition is different according to the age one is living in.

I no longer criticize anyone--not even myself. I only give out positive vibes.

Possessing things is not that interesting. Living in a grand environment to show myself and others that I have wealth has zero appeal.
