I'm always trying to think of ways to provide jobs and money through what I'm already doing. Charity can be overwhelming, and some people think you have to be Bill Gates to really make a difference momentarily or you have to be Mother Theresa and give up Western life, but you can just incorporate it into your everyday life.

I have a real passion for many aspects of home lifestyle and beauty.

When I met with Deepak Chopra, instead of asking him for something, I offered something. You can always think of things that are not really any costs to you that still have a huge benefit.

If you feel good, you stand up a bit straighter.

Give yourself time to work on your dream. If you want to start a stationery company or if you want to start an Internet site... Whatever it is, pick the thing that you love, and allot the time, but know and value the downtime as well.

I believe that it doesn't matter where you work or what you have access to because anything can help. If you're working in an ice cream shop, you can ask your boss if you can give away twenty ice cream cones to an organization every Friday afternoon. It's really interesting to see what people are willing to help you with if you can make it easy for them.

When I talk to young girls about clothes, I tell them to show a lot of brains.
