It was very flattering when Manolo Blahnik named a shoe after me.

I remember when I came home from the hospital after having my son, I wore a Narciso Rodriguez black coat. Then, I was using this fragrance that I had created. I walk by that coat, and it still smells like that fragrance. It takes you right there.

I love Jennifer Hudson! She is so lovely on screen. She is so buoyant and youthful off screen as much as on.

A squirrel is just a rat with a cuter outfit!

Work was never about wanting fame or money. I never thought about that. I loved getting the job, going to rehearsal, playing someone else, hanging around with a bunch of actors. I needed that, the way you need water.

Often I'll go to the market, and women will say to me: "Let me see your shoes." And then I show them I'm wearing flip-flops.

The firsts go away - first love, first kiss, first baby. You have to create new ones.
