My first memory of the Rolling Stones is listening to 'Satisfaction' at a sixth-grade slumber party at a friend's house in Ankara, Turkey, where my family was living at the time. In the middle of our sleepover, my friend's dad stopped the record when he heard the words 'girlie action!'

We're all spending way too much of our time and energy trying to fight the stuff we can't change.

I only tweet if I discover something that's fantastic, or if I heard something really great.

I majored in psychology, and I still love listening to people's problems.

I consider myself lucky that Sheila Johnson, the cofounder of Black Entertainment Television, didn't choose to rest on her very impressive business laurels. Her luscious 100 percent modal scarves, printed with photos she takes all over the world, are gorgeous. Wearing one is like being wrapped in a hug.

People think that I don't work, and I fly around in Oprah's private plane doing whatever I want.

I'm basically a really happy person. My life is nuts, but it feels complete.
