I’m usually at home and in bed by 10 o’clock. I do not want to be out at anybody’s New Year’s Eve party.
Fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez was a major part of my early career.
First Ladies have always been held like specimens under a media microscope.
I always feel comfortable, basically in any situation except perhaps airports.
The late Estee Lauder says you can never wear white shoes after Labor Day. But of course, in today’s world, that does not exist.
I only watch MSNBC for the news.
I think it’s important that models be healthy.
I suppose the most daring thing I’ve ever done is try to water ski. And that was not successful.
I only take risks in couture, but I don’t take risks in athleticism.
You come to Paris, you get true originality, and it’s wonderful.

There is room in today’s world for men to wear dresses.

Uggs can be as chic as heels for women.

Waiting in line for something mundane is very boring. Waiting for my doctor to see me and waiting for my dentist to see me, yes, that is boring.
One my favorite things is to go to the provinces of Russia and see the 18th century wood churches with the onion dome architecture. These humble wonders of incredible imagination of architects that were obviously not living in places like Paris or London, but they’ve created these amazing churches.
Look at ‘American Idol,’ which I don’t look at. Those winners haven’t become household names except for Jennifer Hudson, and she was a reject. You can’t aim to be a household name. You just have to be successful.
Like Hillary Clinton before her, Mrs. Obama has always been a working woman. She is a lawyer turned hospital administrator turned political right hand. It is a unique resume.
I’m so sick of mermaid dresses, trains, borrowed bling-bling, and a pose.
