I think it's so much fun to create a space. As the world has gotten more and more hectic - with these horrible catastrophes [happening] - people are going out less, ordering in, [having guests over]. People love to be in their homes.

I love laugh lines. It means you've had a good life.

I have a lot of passion. I have a lot of pride. I think I do get that from my family. But you can be driven and be nice.

My mom has always been kind of my backbone. She keeps me strong. She is a mother, a friend. She is really everything to me.

I think talented people are priceless. And I think people that are knowledgeable and experienced - and I think there's a balance of new talent and experience, which makes, I think, Estee Lauder really special.

When you ask women what's the one thing they wish they had more of, they always say time.

In terms of pots and pans, I just use the basics - Im not a snob like that.
