who-i-am judging people
I obviously don't feel under pressure to look young, because I have had no Botox or surgery. I don't judge people who choose to have it, but I don't want to erase who I am.
fashion inspire dresses
I've always been inspired by women, and my mission was to inspire women. I always wanted to become a certain kind of woman, and I became that woman through fashion. It was a dialogue. I would see that the wrap dress made those women confident, and made them act with confidence.
inspiring mother strong
I'm not the only one; most people's mothers are the most influential person in their life. But my mother survived the camps, and she was very strong. She made me strong, but she wanted me to be strong. That's more important.
cancer believe son
I was terrified the first time that I had a big problem in my business. I was obviously terrified when they diagnosed me with cancer in 1994. I was terrified when my son used to drive too fast. But I do believe in the fact that fear is not an option, so I always try to face it and not be afraid.
beautiful girl nice
I think all races are represented in America much more than in many other places, but it's also nice to remind people about that ethnic mix. I would like to see more black models and women from different ethnic backgrounds, but I also think that when you are casting, you just choose the most beautiful girl you can find.
real style real-beauty
Style is about confidence. That's the real beauty.
country insecure hair
I used to be very insecure about my curly hair, because I lived in a country where everybody had blonde straight hair.
mail communicate
I communicate mostly via e-mail and receive hundreds of e-mails a day.
play ipads magazines
The iPad! What is better designed than that? I read magazines on it, I play Scrabble. I use it for everything.
places-to-go bali resorts
Bali and the Aman resorts are all very luxurious, great places to go.
italian men trying
The best-dressed man is an Italian who is trying to look English, or an Englishman who is trying to look Italian.
sleep night four
I am a traveler. I am a nomad. I rarely sleep in the same bed more than three or four nights. And I know hotel life better than anyone.
true-friend black littles
The little black dress is the true friend...she travels with you...is patient and constant...you go to her when you don't know where else to go and she is ALWAYS reliable and timeless.
nice amsterdam ireland
Ireland is also quite nice. So is Amsterdam.
