Make-up is the last thing to enhance your beauty, but it's very important because it builds up your self-confidence and gives you more courage.

I believe in nonfat. I gain two pounds when I eat a lamb chop.

It's important to maintain an attractive smile as you age. A lighter, less beige, more white tooth color is key, but no Chiclets.

Color is a big part of what I do. It's like music. There are only so many notes in the scale, but there are endless permutations there's no limit to the number. Color on the walls or furniture can reflect back and distort the reality of the true colors of lipsticks and eye shadow.

I keep up with everything in terms of health, fitness, nutrition, skin care, hair, nails. Really, everything. I'm an avid reader of every women's health newsletter from every hospital in the country.

The most helpful piece of advice that I could give to anybody is to select a charity, or create a charity, that you really feel passionate about and if you do, don't give up.

Of capital importance is to have a good diet and exercise a lot.

Knowing how to age and not being afraid of aging is very healthy.

My efforts to join the fight against breast cancer all began around the fact that women were getting short-changed in the medical arena.

I absorb the science section of 'The New York Times.' You know, I have a degree: I'm an A.A.D. Almost a Doctor.

The gratification of helping others is a very American tradition and a Judeo-Christian tradition. Now it is great to see young people creating funds and giving back in all sorts of productive ways. It's a terrifically satisfying thing.

When I create an image that helps someone - even just myself - find peace, then I've attained my goal.
