I felt bad about myself because certain people were relentlessly attacking me and my reputation. My mom kept saying 'Let it go, Lauren, It doesn't matter' ... [I] realized I had to stop worrying about what other people think. The next day I got a tattoo on my lower back that says 'sticks and stones', because they may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

If you truly love someone, then the only thing you want for them is to be happy....even if its not with you.

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

I'd love to design bridal dresses.

I almost exclusively wear skinny jeans. I'm terrified of any other cut of denim.

I read a lot of 'Spark Notes' in high school.

I grew up always knowing what I wanted to do, and I'm starting to see how rare that is. All of my friends are just figuring it out. It's a process of elimination until you find what you love.
