On Life

  • "Do the things you enjoy within reason. Know your body and what works for you and you'll be fine."
  • "As you get older, you become more comfortable in your skin and comfortable in saying 'no' to things . . . I've also learned that saying 'no' is just as valuable as saying 'yes.' It's something that, I think, comes with age and really having a sense of your self-worth. And then you make choices based on that."
  • "Building a strong team around you and being able to really communicate well with them is part of what's going to bring you a higher level of success."
  • "Take things with a grain of salt and find balance within your life. On your lunch break, leave to go and get some fresh air. You don't need to make your life your job. I have to find that balance for myself, as well . . . I think you have to make time for yourself so that work doesn't become the end-all be-all."

  • "You need to know that you're enough. A mantra that has now engrained itself so deeply within me that not a day goes by without hearing it chime in my head. That five pounds lost won't make you happier, that more makeup won't make you prettier, that the now iconic saying from Jerry Maguire ,'You complete me,' frankly, isn't true. You are complete with or without a partner. You are enough just as you are."
  • "Don't give it five minutes if you're not going to give it five years."
  • "We just need to be kinder to ourselves. If we treated ourselves the way we treated our best friend, can you imagine how much better off we would be?"
  • "You draw your own box. You introduce yourself as who you are. . . You create the identity you want for yourself."

On Her Philanthropic Efforts

  • "If there was a wrong, if there is a lack of justice, and there is an inequality, then someone needs to say something. And why not me?"
  • "Reflecting on where I came from helps me to appreciate and balance what I have now. I was born and raised in 
Los Angeles. My mother was a free-spirited clinical therapist and I had the most hard-working father, a television lighting 
director by trade. My mum raised me to be a global citizen, with eyes open to sometimes harsh realities."
  • "I've never wanted to be a lady who lunches; I've always wanted to be a woman who works."
