On a very practical level, I've learned the importance of circulation socks for planes. I had this awful experience of getting off a flight to go to an event and my feet had swelled. Try getting into heels then! So you put on the socks for the flight, then you can wear whatever heels you want.

I've always had an involved imagination.

I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be.

In the madness, you have to find calm.

Even in my dreams of being an actor, my dream was not in the celebrity. My dream was in the work that I wanted to do.

You can’t eat beauty. It doesn’t feed you.

I come from a loving, supportive family, and my mother taught me that there are more valuable ways to achieve beauty than just through your external features. She was focused on compassion and respect, and those are the things that ended up translating to me as beauty. Beautiful people have many advantages, but so do friendly people.... I think beauty is an expression of love.
