The beauty of reading is that it lets you travel in a way you could never know.

I have no problem with whatever the next big look is. Just don't try and tell me that only one look is beautiful.

For me, there has never been one definition of beauty. I think we all have something to offer and when beauty shines from within, there can be no denying it

I learnt just how little it takes to survive, which is why I don’t waste things – food, money, friendships or opportunities.

You can't buy enlightenment, but you can hire a mirror so you can watch it happen.

You don't have to go with the crowd.

To have this opportunity, in light of my familys struggles, made me want to create something lasting and relevant.

Pressure only makes you sick. You won't get anything positive out of it.

I wore hot pants and cowboy boots and I thought, 'What have I gotten myself into?'

What is important for a leader is that which makes him a leader. It is the needs of his people.

the tentacles of today reach out like an octopus to swallow yesterday.

If you gave me several million years, there would be nothing that did not grow in beauty if it were surrounded by water.

Men do not change; they unmask themselves.

I like the idea of a strong woman in charge.
