I don't let many people in. I don't discuss everything. If I don't want to discuss it, I'm not discussing it. I think that annoys the hell out of an awful lot of people.

I buy the best fabrics from small mills in Italy. That is the basis for my clothes.

Being a rather second-rate actress, I finally thought, 'I'd rather be a designer.' I knew I could make things look good.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

I drink maple syrup. Then I'm hyper so I just run around like crazy and work it all off.

I love my kitchen. On the weekends, we have friends over, the kids are buzzing around, and we cook and talk.
