I came from a background where I was very poor growing up but I have never known poverty. My parents worked hard and they went to bed hungry, but they fed us. Then my father became an ambassador, so I ended up being driven by chauffeurs. And then we became refugees. After that, I looked at it through this "glass" of to have and have not, and at the end of the day, who actually helps, who actually steps up, who is there for you.

If I say something about David [Bowie], I get 1000 tweets, if I say something about my business just a few! The more personal, the better.

I come from Somalia. We start working young, and we understand that kind of life. I would be bored to death not doing anything creative.

There is no age better than another.

My father taught me how to be a parent and gave me a positive connection with men because he is a gentleman.

There is strength in numbers.

If I feel frustrated in a situation, I take a deep breath and walk away.
