When I met [Robert Pattinson], he literally didn't make any impression on me. He's quiet, and he's not very outgoing.

In California, I do like to just chill out and go to the beach, but I love the energy here. I feel very productive when I'm in New York.

When it comes to fashion, I love skinny jeans, a simple top, and a great handbag.

I'm very much a girl that likes to have options. That's the way I am with fashion, and that's the way I am with my life.

I am certainly not perfect. I don't think you should try to be perfect for anyone. When you come to terms with that, then you're OK.

When girls come up and say, "You're my role model," it's really flattering, but it's also really scary because I'm not perfect and I'm going to make mistakes.

I'm a bit of a workaholic. When I feel like I'm not doing something, it drives me insane.

I live a dual life. On the red carpet, it's complete glam. But at home, I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. Simple can be beautiful.

But I don't do the diet thing anymore. I'm a big believer in feeding your body what it needs. Deny yourself something and you're going to end up shoving your face full of it.

I think it's better that life is kind of like a mystery, I think that's what drives us.

(Quoted by Thomas Carlyle) The rude man requires only to see something going on. The man of more refinement must be made to feel. The man of complete refinement must be made to reflect.

There is no greater companion like books.

New York the nation's thyroid gland.

People only see what they are prepared to see.

The Lego Movie: Merely a great film, or the greatest film ever in the history of cinema?

I think that I've developed very, very good relationships over the last little while with the African-American community. I think you can see that.

How strangely inaccurate it is to measure length of living by length of life! The space between your birth and death is often far from a true measure of your days of living.

I guess I'd rather be loved than respected.

A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.

Self-managing is Job One. Have a vision and a mission. Surround yourself with talented people. Rely on effective coaching, not managing of employees.
