I always struggle auditioning, actually, because I'm so obsessed with era-appropriate clothing.

When I was young, I made all of my own clothes.

Fashion is unique. It's a leveler, not a divider.

Fashion weeks tend to be places of refuge for outsiders.

I was writing a lot even as a kid.

At one point, we were across the street from the Sharon Tate house; at another, we lived in Elvis's old Bel Air bachelor pad. It was where he first met the Beatles.

Some of us are lucky enough to choose what we wear, and some of us don't have that luxury, but we all are communicating something to the world around us by what we wear, no matter if it's sweatpants or a tuxedo.

I would wear entirely one color: tutus, furry pants. It was totally outrageous. My family was deeply embarrassed to be seen with me.

We did a play of 'Frog and Toad' at my elementary school. And I'm not sure if this is part of the book or it was something that we made up on our own, but I auditioned to play the black hole, which somehow makes sense to me.

It's really just my Hammurabi code of journalism ethics, that I don't want to ask someone to do something that I won't do myself.

Maintaining a sense of humor is key to getting people to also focus on the crises at hand.

I ate better in Liberia than I did in Ohio.

Women's bodies have become a real battleground for politics.
