I like putting on a suit. I like putting on a tie.

I worry constantly and obsess over things, but I just don't let fear stand in the way of doing something that I really want to do.

You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.

I like to relax and lie in the water. It is the way I calm myself down. But every time I walk past my bathroom, I go in and I put on some perfume. I use different perfumes for different moods. If I feel that I need to calm down, I put on certain fragrances that are more sensual. If I feel that I need to energize, I put on something else. Fragrance for me is so important.

I think we're very uptight in America. You have to remember that we're descended from Puritans. Whether or not the country is now composed of immigrants, our culture as American really begins with the landing of the Pilgrims and a puritanical view of things.
