At twenty-one, I was a divorced single mother. At thirty, I was struggling to feed my children. At forty, I was starting over in a new country. At fifty, I was rebuilding my career. At sixty, I walked the runway at Fashion Week. Life begins at every age—if you dare to make a plan.

如果生活不有趣，那将是悲剧的。

人活着，就应该坦坦荡荡，明明白白，无所愧疚。

企业的目标不仅仅是赚钱，而是要有所作为。

建筑应当诉说它的时代和地点，但渴望永恒。

时间和记忆是真正的艺术家；它们将现实重新塑造得更接近内心的愿望。
