Every night I bring home flowers and burn candles. And I have a real sense that home is what starts everything inside of you.

I love getting older! I really believe that a woman doesn't reach her peak until her 40s.

In your 20s you can be pretty, but you don't accomplish real beauty until you find wisdom and depth.

Money is the longest route to happiness.

I cried myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because men leered and disrespected me, because they assumed things about my mental capacity or my physical willingness based on the way I look.

For me there's a need for balance - fulfilling the sensitive side, letting my guard down, holding back the warrior in me. And I have to be vulnerable which is very hard for me to do.

I'm always changing things around. I have to change it all the time. I'm rearranging furniture and taking down paintings and putting up new ones, and buying new pieces of art.
