[New York] gives you room to be weird; you can be yourself and you can wear whatever you want. No one is really going to judge you because everyone is doing their own thing.

I think having wild, huge hair, is me being my own version of a lioness.

I remember just looking at this lioness, she was staring at me, and we just had this weird connection.

I've always loved vintage and I never like to have something someone else has.

The women in my family are just strong women who do their own thing, so I knew I needed to have individuals like that.

You need to have honest things in the world. Even if people don't understand it, if it's coming from you, that's already important.

My main goal was to not tell my mom anything or anyone anything. Even within our family, we like to do it ourselves, we like to be our own boss, and we don't like asking for help.

You would say you don't see it: at least I flatter myself I read as much in your eye (beware, by-the-by, what you express with that organ, I am quick at interpreting its language).

She was sitting in a garden more beautiful than even her rampaging imagination could ever have conjured up, and she was being serenaded by trees.

I think people are rapidly losing confidence in the political class, and I don't blame them.

The only reason to go into business is to make money. You have to work hard at it. If you're not passionate about it, you'll burn out so fast that it is incredible.

There are persons whose only merit consists in saying and doing stupid things at the right time, and who ruin all if they change their manners.

I refuse to believe in a god who is the primary cause of conflict in the world, preaches racism, sexism, homophobia, and ignorance, and then sends me to hell if I'm 'bad'.
