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.

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.

You know, my brother won't walk out of a restaurant with me anymore because he doesn't want to be linked to me as my new 'mystery man.' Same with my close guy friends.

You can achieve anything you put your mind and hard work to.

I loved dancing as a young girl.

I don't need to waste my time with a computer just because I am a computer scientist.

A writer is justly called 'universal' when he is understood within the limits of his civilization, though that be bounded by a country or an age.

The message I'm sending to myself - I can't change the world until I change myself first.

God is the King. In him exists all legal authority

Physics has found no straight lines. Instead, the physical universe consists of only waves undulating back and forth allowing for corrections and balance.

Part of the entrepreneurial thing is there are lots of ways to die.

England with all thy faults, I love thee still-- My country! and, while yet a nook is left Where English minds and manners may be found, Shall be constrained to love thee.
