Being in the world of fashion you have to be very self-absorbed, and you are surrounded by people who are very self-absorbed.

I had dreamed of visiting Bali for many years and because I had an extended family of Balinese friends in Los Angeles, I felt connected. The island is so peaceful and the smiles are constant.

Men are just jealous because they can't wear makeup.

I learned a lot about working with children, and about myself, and it reinforced my decision to pursue a career in teaching.

Having a child keeps you very grounded. So when I decided to have a child, I made it clear to the people I work with that my job was no longer my priority.

There's always competition out there. That's what makes life exciting.

It was easy to run around barefoot in oblivion in Costa Rica. But once I gave birth to my child, I didnt want to be oblivious to the obvious.

I'm not surfing much anymore, but I love hiking and gardening, and I'm always wearing a hat and sunblock.

I can't remember the last time I was bored.

My favorite hotel is the Villa Alilla in Bali. The setting is pure bliss, overlooking the ocean of Uluwatu; the eye line makes you feel as if you're floating on top of the ocean.

I have great respect and understanding for military commitment due to my own family's involvement with the armed forces.

But I hasten to finish my story. Brevity is justified at once to those who readily understand, and to those who will never understand.

Men do communicate, often very directly, but women sometimes cannot accept how simple what we have to say is. We seldom play games--we aren't that sophisticated.

We tend to blame the physical media for most of our implementation difficulties; for the media are not "ours" in the way the ideas are, and our pride colors our judgement.

Every language is a world. Without translation, we would inhabit parishes bordering on silence.

Don't bother explaining--I've heard all the excuses and the trouble is most of them are true.

What an ugly beast the ape, and how like us.

You cannot grow more hours in the day. However, you can make better use of those hours.

Evil counsel travels fast.

No champion has ever lifted a trophy that was not already being held inside.

I thought I wanted the truth, but I don't. The past is the past and it can't be changed. It's the future I'm interested in." -Gabriel McGregor
