It truly is the power that you have deep within yourself that gives you the strength to pursue your dreams.

I’m a big fan of the whip... That snake whip was awesome!

At a party recently I was introduced to Meryl Streep, and it took me a second to get my head around it. You know, that I'm meeting these people now. I'm doing it.

For me, if I know that I'm with someone that has proven time and time again that they create work that is so different and that they can do what they say they can do and I'm going to have people around me that can challenge me, that's how I view things now.

When I first covered [presidential election ] in 2008, I was asking questions for kids around the world, but mainly for myself. I didn't know the process, I didn't know how it worked. Now, of course, I'm more schooled on it, but I deal with so much politics in my fashion work and in Hollywood, that I haven't been as connected this time.

In the end when you accept yourself for who you are and you work with what you've got, you couldn't be more beautiful because you're confident and everyone notices.

Life works in mysterious ways but when you find your inner glow is back and shining brighter, you know it's right.
