If you're not sure what to wear, if you don't know how everyone else is going to be, then just be at your most beautiful.

There is nothing more thrilling than arriving in a new place on your own and feeling the sense of possibility and excitement that brings with it.

I think all races are represented in America much more than in many other places, but it's also nice to remind people about that ethnic mix. I would like to see more black models and women from different ethnic backgrounds, but I also think that when you are casting, you just choose the most beautiful girl you can find.

The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.

I have always been a nomad and I have mastered the art of packing! I always say: pack lightly, live lightly.

I think living is serious. Living well, accepting yourself, using your talents to the fullest, enjoying yourself, that's all serious and important...But I think makeup and fashion should not be taken that seriously...You should have fun making up for a party. You should have fun wearing a sexy dress. When you're beautiful it should give you pleasure.

As the president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, I represent the designers. And while we can by no means take the blame for eating disorders, we can play our part in addressing this important issue.
