Quotes
“You don’t have to get married and have a family, like a lot of women try, to live the American Dream. There’s nothing wrong if you’re in your 40s and don’t have kids and are president of your own company.”

“I tend to be attracted to darker scents. I’m not a floral girl. But I do like this old fragrance I used to wear called Versace Red Jeans. I have an eBay alert that tells me when it comes back! I think it’s more of a nostalgic association that I have with it because a boyfriend had bought it for me when I was, like, 16.”

“Sephora has always been the best, in the sense that they love me for me and that they let me be me. That’s the coolest part. I think that’s why the products are great – because there’s a sincerity and authenticity.”
