I have a lot of responsibilities outside myself. I have a large family. I want to know I can always be helpful.

I developed a really strong work ethic, and I don't take anything for granted.

I feel honor-bound to have a private relationship with my children. And that's not a judgment about anybody else and what they choose. And that's the beauty of living in a democracy, right?

If I didn't have kids, I would be at the theater or the ballet every single night of my life.

I've worn so many things, I've tried on so many things...I've spent probably thousand of hours in fittings. I can know so quickly how something's going to feel on me, look on me. It's a pretty fast courtship. I say yes or no pretty quickly.

For the last ten years or more, I've really been making shopping decisions based on, "Is that what I want to wear forever?" I tend to not have these quick one - night stands or affairs with fashion, because it never suits me anyway. I tend to shop, specifically with heels or shoes, for things that I think, "Yeah, this is a long - term relationship.".

It's like the riddle of the Sphinx... why are there so many great unmarried women, and no great unmarried men?
