If you feel comfortable in what you're wearing, you'll look your best, and I think that's a really important idea. Sometimes, whether it's fashion or beauty, things are on-trend, and they look beautiful on the runway, but when I apply them to myself, it doesn't look the way it should.

Even though beauty is very much my heritage, my real passion is accessories and home.

My mom has always been kind of my backbone. She keeps me strong. She is a mother, a friend. She is really everything to me.

I love both real and fake jewelry. My kids make me necklaces, and I wear those, too. Every day, I wear my gold wedding band and the Cartier watch my husband gave me.

My grandmother had a lilac bush at her home in Long Island. I always associate the scent of it with her and try to have lilacs in my home.

Do I believe in plastic surgery? Yes, if something is wrong and you can modify it. For certain people, it's right.

I can't go to a restaurant or a hotel now without looking at the architecture and wondering how it would look if a character jumped off something - or crashed through it.

I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.

That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

My idea about the role of artists is to get people to look at things in a way that's different than the way they normally would if they are being told how to think, what to do. I think when people receive information through art, they are more open-minded.

In winter, the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. Summer is more wooing and seductive, more versatile and human, appeals to the affections and the sentiments, and fosters inquiry and the art impulse.
