Prepare your food attractively and serve it nicely.

Taste is acquired. You may have to unlearn a taste for chocolate or ice cream.

Resisting a beautiful chocolate cake or a wonderful foie gras is as difficult as (the idea of) saying no to Paul Newman.

What I think I sell with my clothes is confidence, so hopefully all my dresses, my accessories, are friends to the women. When you open the closet, and your eyes are swollen, and you don't like the way you look, you go to your friends.

You know I have never met a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.

If you're short, don't wear extremely high heels. After a certain age, you shouldn't wear little girls' clothes. That's going against your nature.

I used to be very insecure about my curly hair, because I lived in a country where everybody had blonde straight hair.
