I tell young girls all the time: "Go for the guys who are more serious, distinguished". The hot-model types, they're too pretty, and too wet behind the ears. Besides, do you want a guy who takes longer to get ready than you?

I have a really big mouth, I have a lot of opinions and I will be heard.

I hope that when girls see my clothes, my shoes, or my outrageous jewelry collection, they feel the thrill of wanting more for themselves too. I love what my friend Andre Leon Talley said: "If you are successful, people want to see it. They want to share in your dream".

Fabulous is as fabulous does.

I'm fiercely protective of my children even though we are on TV.

I try not to be neurotic; I try to create and present healthy body image.

I feel like I'm a good motivator; I'm very determined.
