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

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.

I feel like we were the last generation, and there's this big divide before and after the 1990s. I feel sorry for the kids today. It's all too much.

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.

If somebody tells me what to do, I will do my best not to do it.

Rescuing dogs is looked upon as a noble, trendy pursuit. But wouldn't rescuing a man from a homeless shelter be, in fact, more humane?

Of several bodies, all equally large and equally distant, that which is most brightly illuminated will appear to the eye nearest and largest.

Often faith isn't hoping that good times are coming; it's trying to see that the good times are here.

I refused from the beginning to restrict myself to any sort of lifestyle.

I am fascinated with religion or things that people believe in and question that. I think it's interesting.

I think the best thing you can do is be aware that as a first time founder you are likely to be a very bad manager.

Speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow.
