I do feel like once you know you are someone who is in the world and there are other countries and cultures, that stays with you and your decision-making forever.

I don't think it's a sad thing for a woman to not be in a relationship if she doesn't want to be. I feel like nobody looks at men who aren't in relationships and like, I don't know. It seems to be something looking at women like oh that's sad. But you have to look at what they want out of their lives.

So many people are paralyzed by worrying, What are these people going to think?

I do feel like especially nowadays, we are inundated with the message that, Oh my god, you aren't making your own clothes? You didn't make your own bread? And you also don't have a career and you don't look unbelievable and you have 5 pounds on your frame? Where is your book that you haven't published yet?

You can't live with letting your feelings guide you, you'll get smooshed.

I was just shitty, shitty, shitty with money and I finally, when I really started making money, I had to get somebody to sit down with me and learn how to manage my money.

I think about that with kids - you want to do everything for them, but you realize if you do everything and you make it easy on them, they won't learn anything and then they will walk around life needing their mamas all the time, and that isn't attractive.

Travel. You need to know you're a citizen of the world.
