On Wellness:

“I use organic products, but I get lasers. It’s what makes life interesting, finding the balance between cigarettes and tofu. I’ve probably tried everything.

I looked like Joan Rivers!” – Harper’s Bazaar’s, 2013

On Beauty:

“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.”

On Health:

“I try to eat organic food when I can, eat local food when I can, and eat as little processed food as possible. But, sometimes you need a bag of Doritos and a beer in an airport. We have to be modern and easy on ourselves as well.” – InStyle, 2016

On Self-Reflection:

“At first I was lying there, like, What am I not doing? What am I not doing? But then I thought, Can you take one hour? It’s not like you’re doing this every day. So I really let everything go. And after, I thought, I wish I could get to this place every day, at least for a little while.” – Self 2016
