I'm very classic and structural. I love clean lines and interesting, modern details. But I'm all about being streamlined - less is more.

Style is a deeply personal expression of who you are, and every time you dress, you are asserting a part of yourself.

Nothing is more alluring to a man than a woman who looks good in her jeans.

Style comes from knowing who you are and who you want to be in the world; it does not come from wanting to be somebody else, or wanting to be thinner, shorter, taller, prettier.

It's empowering for women to have some tricks up their sleeve to help them look their best.

Some girls on the street don't have a lot of money, but they have the best style. It's not about being able to buy everything in the store.

She who dies with the most stilettos wins.

Style is about fun. True style is not about having a closet full of expensive and beautiful things - it is instead about knowing when, where, and how to utilize your collection.

Fashion is expensive. Style is not. Some of the most stylish girls I know are certainly not the wealthiest.

Like most people, I've grown a lot more sophisticated in my style choices. I know myself and what suits me better now than I did when I was much younger and feel more comfortable in my own skin.

I have written, probably, more books for children than any other writer, from story-books to plays, and can claim to know more about interesting children than most.

When the facts change, you change your mind. I know that is a hard concept for people to get sometimes.

My comedy is romanticized laziness.

it was possible to grow up in an instant, that you could look down and see the line in the sand dividing your life now from what it used to be.

Nothing seems to me more doubtful than Aristotle's remark that it is probable the arts and philosophy have several times been discovered and several times lost.

I saw the abyss of my misery; whatever there is of good in me is Yours, O Lord. But because I am so small and wretched, I have a right to count on Your boundless mercy.

You make beautiful things, You make beautiful things out of the dust

Part of me thinks that I've been called by the universe, to get all sort of spiritual about it. Like, I've had no actual say in the matter. The universe found me.

I think, to go to the bottom of it all, that the films I have made and my kind of film-making is a hybrid type of film-making - in that it isn't American, it isn't Italian.
