I developed a really strong work ethic, and I don't take anything for granted.
If I didn't have kids, I would be at the theater or the ballet every single night of my life.
So many roads. So many detours. So many choices. So many mistakes.
Can you make a mistake and miss your fate?
Do we need distance to get close?
I thought if I had straight hair and a perfect nose, my whole career would be different.
When I go to a premiere I like to borrow lovely clothes and shoes from designers. It's like the library: if you return them in good condition, you get to borrow more. I'm very lucky.
You can't do four movies and be good to everybody and be flying all night and shooting all day with a different wig and then be going to sing on Broadway without feeling a little tired. You endlessly feel you're letting somebody down.
I love walking into a closet and smelling lingering perfume, so I always spray my clothes. And at the end of the bottle, when the atomizer no longer reaches the tiny little dribble that is left, I unscrew the top and pour the remainder onto a t-shirt or dress.
It's a great challenge to be better than your opportunities.
I never was Carrie Bradshaw, but imagine how great it was to be told, "You are obligated to kiss all these men, to dress like that, and to carry on like that!" They were great guys, too.
If you're a nice person and you work hard, you get to go shopping at Barneys. It's the decadent reward.
Fashion is not a luxury, it's a right
I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way. I am so desperately worried about anybody saying, "She cut in line," or "She took our table," or "She doesn't do her own grocery shopping." It's not like it's hard to be decent and respectful and well behaved. I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do my own grocery shopping, and I do take the kids to school. But it almost doesn't matter to a certain segment of the populace.
