The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disastrous.

Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.

I have learned the difference between a cactus and a caucus. On a cactus, the pricks are on the outside.

For me, the most important thing I learned was just honing my eye. I think I had a good eye.

I think it was always there and it was maybe a matter of bringing it out. It was harder than I thought it would be and I had to try harder. I had to regain my confidence, maybe the most important thing. I have learned a lot to relax. I know what I can do now, and I do it.

What I have learned is that a whole lot of people with degrees don't know a damn thing, and a lot of people with no degrees are brilliant.
