I love going on book tours because it's an opportunity to connect with the people that matter most to my brand.

What is the point of working all your life and then stopping?

I used to think that diamonds were a girl's best friend, but now I realize it's carbohydrates. Seriously, I have a French baguette at home sporting a matching friendship bracelet.

I've never felt a push to be stick thin. I work out and eat healthy, so mostly it's about being in shape and having energy.

One thing you can't miss in your suitcase is a hat.

I'm not a sexy person. I'm OK with it. I've never been the sexy girl. Whenever I've had a boyfriend, he's always been like, 'Oh, you're cute.'

You go to new places and it opens your eyes to different things you haven't seen before. Everything from colors, to silhouettes, to patterns - it just comes from everywhere.
