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

Men can get jobs from one country to another, they can get in. But the people who always fell through the cracks were women and children, especially when you are displaced. I've always said, 'I am the face of a refugee.'

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 believe in glamour. I am in favor of a little vanity. I don't rely on just my genes. Looking good is a commitment to yourself and to others.

If you are an activist, you have to stay active on a daily basis.

For me, diversity whether you think of it as race or gender, it's not a trend, it's a human movement, it's a human feeling, it's a human desire.

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