I'm deeply and passionately involved in the design process. I'm a brash American, and if my name is going to be on something, I'm going to have my say.

Catty is not cool. I can't think of anything less becoming than a man who talks about people behind their backs.

Who you are as a person will only be amplified once you are 'famous, ' so if you had a good heart, then I would imagine you'll have the same good heart but the means to do even more with it.

Food makes travel so exceptional, because you get to taste what it's actually supposed to taste like. To eat the real Pad Thai or finally have a proper curry is something pretty amazing.

Traveling gives you some perspective of what the rest of the world is like. I think that having the courage to step out of the norm is the most important thing.

I love Ralph Lauren. As I travel so much, I prefer to shop online.

I always want off-the-beaten-path, Anthony Bourdain-inspired travel.

My mom is a yoga instructor: 100% black with dreadlocks.

My dad is Caucasian, and my mom is African American. I'm half black and half white. Being biracial paints a blurred line that is equal parts staggering and illuminating.

I don't know which is worse, going to the library or stealing and breaking the laws of Shabbat, but I know what the prophet's talking about when he says one sin begets another.

Democracy demands trust. It demands that sense of mutual understanding. And - it's a two way street. You've got to give - as much as you take.

Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality... Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.

We must choose between the violence of adults and the smiles of children.

Did you ever hear of a kid playing accountant - even if they wanted to be one?

I think the tougher the challenge the better.

We ought to be judged on how many laws we repeal.

We know the redemption must come. The time and the manner of its coming we know not: It may come in peace, or it may come in blood; but whether in peace or in blood, LET IT COME.
