My children are still young, but I try to talk to them about giving back and how important it is, just to look at the world, be invested in things, to be passionate about things, to have a dream.

For my diet, I choose mostly organic. But in general, I am a big believer in trying to strike a balance with everything.

The most inspiring piece of advice I've gotten is simply to persevere. My mom taught me to always keep going no matter what from an early age. When it feels too difficult to push forward, I always remind myself, 'This too shall pass,' and then I redouble my efforts.

It is important for me that I represent a brand that reflects my personality.

I tend to gravitate toward Proenza Schouler and Alexander Wang. Their designs are accessible and easy.

I am always touched when friends make contributions to my foundation on my behalf.

I always loved having the chance to disappear in a story. I always was kind of obsessed with that.
