My mother taught me to walk proud and tall 'as if the world was mine.'

Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.

Any woman can look her best if she feels good in her skin. It's not a question of clothes or makeup. It's how she sparkles.

I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0.

You have to enjoy life. Always be surrounded by people that you like, people who have a nice conversation. There are so many positive things to think about.

The most indespensible ingredient of all good home cooking: love for those you are cooking for.

Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.

Learn to use your brains as deftly as your powder box, and then maybe you have a powder box and do not need.

A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.

If you aren't diligently working towards changing something that bothers you, you rescind your right to complain about it.

I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material. I’m certainly well aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.

I always thought we were selling dreams, not clothes

Alas! poor human nature, pity, if hard pressed, degenerates into contempt.

There is nothing like being left alone again, to walk peacefully with oneself in the woods. To boil one's coffee and fill one's pipe, and to think idly and slowly as one does it.

Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to continue always a child.

If you just work on stuff that you like and you're passionate about, you don't have to have a master plan with how things will play out.
