I don't know any neighborhoods where everyone's walking around in seven-inch heels and perfect makeup.
I am not a princess, I don't want to be referred to as a princess - I find that super creepy.
As a teenager I went all Goth, but I wasn't mopey enough. I would pretend to be, but I'd end up making people laugh.
To me, having 500 rolls of fabric around is the most calming thing in the world. I think it's what football is to some guys.
I'm not a great pregnant woman.
It's funny; as I get older I'm reverting to my roots - I want to plant stuff.
I've always had mostly gay male friends.
I've grown to love L.A., but it's the most socially awkward place. All these people have come there not to be something but to pretend to be someone trying to be someone. Even in line for coffee, you're standing with someone who's trying to be so interesting.
Everybody's a train wreck in their own very special way. But there's something wildly freeing about someone who's unapologetic, who knows they're a wreck and doesn't even try to hide it, just bulldozes through life.
I just think we tear down women in this country for all these superficial reasons, and women are so great and strong.
I have an overactive sense of justice. I want women to realize you don't have to work for the company. You can run the company. I want the scope for them to be endless.
I have blocks of wood all over my house; I spend all of my day knocking!
Funny is funny, and it can come in 8 billion different shades and flavors, so I think it's silly to kind of limit it.
My back was just destroyed after pregnancy. I almost had to have surgery, until I did Pilates and rebuilt my body.
