I don't argue style on the basis of tastes. If you feel like you've reached your personal best, don't change.

Your closet needs to be a place of joy and celebration of who are you now - not who you were.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.

You should feel beautiful and you should feel safe. What you surround yourself with should bring you peace of mind and peace of spirit.

Confidence is the best accessory. It can make or break an outfit.

Clothes allow you to see yourself in a different light. They can transform you instantly and have a very real, visceral impact. Clothes become symbolic of who we are.

Texture is something we forget - it makes outfits look very expensive. You can do a monochromatic outfit, if you're afraid of things that are more colorful and printed, and still create interest.

Rules like 'don't wear white after Labor Day' or 'shoes matching the handbag' are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.

Style offers concrete rules you can follow. You can use it as a resource rather than a barrier to feeling good about yourself.

The fashion industry [is] built on, and thrives on, our collective insecurity.

The key to personal style is understanding your individual beauty enough to know which looks will work for you and which probably won't.

Fear is not a sin in the taiga, but cow­ardice is [..].

When we follow our passion in life we choose to be in harmony with our inner nature.

It is not irritating to be where one is. It is only irritating to think one would like to be somewhere else.

I don't really like watching my work. I don't mind watching it when I was a little kid because I forgive myself a lot, since I was a little kid.

Keep doing what you're doing no matter what anyone says. Defy your own doubt.

Since it is seldom clear whether intellectual activity denotes a superior mode of being or a vital deficiency, opinion swings between considering intellect a privilege and seeing it as a handicap

You can have a perfectly horrible day where you doubt your talent... Or that you're boring and they're going to find out that you don't know what you're doing.

I trust most people. Not producers.

We all have a lot more to read than we can read and a lot more to do than we can do.

It is chiefly through books that we enjoy the intercourse with superior minds.
