I like spending time at home. In Paris, people drop by and have a bite to eat, or they drop by and watch Friends on TV. I take my dog to the office there, and I walk to work sometimes.

I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting.

You can never please everyone, and I think it's best not to.

Let's do what we love and do a lot of it.

I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.

Life is a fashion show, the world is your runway.

Change is a great and horrible thing, and people love it or hate it at the same time. Without change, however, you just don't move.

I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.

There is never a wrong time for a polka dot.

I was a government employee in the morning and a writer in the evening.

You know how we'd get along better? If everybody'd just remember how we're all related. White, black, Asian, skin. No difference. All the bloodlines go back to that one old mama in Africa.

Read, learn, work it up, go to the literature. Information is control.

Thank God for my hobgoblin, small-minded consistency.

I began to see that my problems, seen spiritually, were really my soul's plusses.

I think there's a general misconception that anything written quickly lacks quality, and I don't believe that.

Scripture is, at its heart, the great story that we sing in order not just to learn it with our heads but to become part of it through and through, the story that in turn becomes part of us.

I’m just mad for San Francisco. It is like London and Paris stacked on top of each other.
