When I was young, I lived like an old woman, and when I got old, I had to live like a young person.
The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.
I grew up in a very bohemian environment in southern Sweden, so I was always, always, always in black jeans.
Growing up, I never heard my parents curse, never. The first time I ever said a curse word was with my sister Kim.
I had my daughter, and with that came a deep sense of responsibility; my time for work had become precious, and it had to have more meaning.
When I designed my first house in L.A., I didn't have any money - I did it all on my own. I liked that.
I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad.
I had a really creative teacher at primary school. He used to get us doing things such as singing Spandau Ballet in drag in the choir, and I remember loving it.
At school, I was the classroom clown - I was always being thrown out for being naughty. Before I left, a teacher called me in and suggested I became an actor.
You know, a lot of those angry sort of Southern man characters that I've been doing are based on different people I might've had as, like, a soccer coach or as a teacher.
I was born in Norway, and when I was little I went to live in Detroit, Michigan. My father was a professor of philosophy at Wayne University, and my mother was also a teacher.
A coach, especially at a college level - much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level - you're more of a teacher than an actual coach.
We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.
I'm very involved with kids because after being a teacher for seven years, I just can't stop loving the kids. I am a teacher forever.
I love a woman, I love to judge how beautiful she is, how beautiful I can make her.
I love women in all their different incarnations. My friends are practically all women. They are much more intelligent than men.
Every day, I love what I do and I think it's a gift and privilege to love your job.
I believe that anything can be for men or women. I mean, I've worn a lace dress before!
I think 'Actions speak louder than words' is one thing, I think, I always took from my mom. And to this day, I think about that in everything I do.
There are Katy-Perry-in-concert-type pieces that I look at and am like, 'This dress has a hundred cupcakes on it - I want it!' My mom will always talk me down.
My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.
