My mornings are really about being with my children, so I tend to lay out my outfit the night before when my children are asleep so I can have a quick turnaround time in the morning.

Work is changing for men as much as it is for women.

Success isn’t something that happens to you; you happen to it.

I'm not a clone, and I'm not a minion.

It's very hard to be great at what you do if you aren't deeply passionate.

I've never had a sense of entitlement. I saw how hard my father worked for his money, and it was always made very clear to me that things wouldn't just be given to me.

Everything about mediocrity kills me.

I set very bold goals. It's how I've always been. I'm definitely somebody who swings for the fences, and I expect very high performance.

People underestimate me, and that's fine. I prefer to go into negotiations being underestimated.

It's important to get in the habit of growing as a human being, developing and refining leadership and management skills and entrepreneurial instincts and changing to accommodate the times.

I've never lived in a building without my name on it.

Being happy on seeing others happy is happiness multiplied.

How come they get to be gray-haired and still in love with each other, while Lilly tears out what's left of my heart and dumps it into her Jill-The-Ripper shredder?

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

Let faith oust fact; let fancy oust memory; I look deep down and do believe.

Out of the crooked timber of humanity, nothing completely straight was ever made

I was raised by a single mother.

If you didn't know that I am an actress, I don't think you could tell from my lifestyle. I cook and cook and cook. I like to be with my daughter. She's 16, so of course I bore her.

I feel if you hold yourself as an artist first and foremost, the barriers of gender come down.

Isn't the drawing board the place where all the best work happens? It's not a bad thing to go back there. It's the entire point.

All these practices and struggles to become religious are only negative work, to take off the bars, and open the doors to that perfection which is our birthright, our nature.
