I love how easy pearls are to wear with anything and everything.
Louise Linton
I'm a homebody at heart, and I love to be around my dogs.
I have the high honor of being the only person who has been compared to Marie Antoinette, Darth Vader, and Cruella de Vil at once.
I have been very lucky from the moment I went to my first audition, which was for 'CSI: New York,' and I got it.
I love the emotional symbolism of the eternity band as a wedding band. It's like wearing the infinity sign on your finger and represents the cyclical and enduring aspect of love.
When I went to D.C., I thought I would have an incredible platform to help animals. But I realized very quickly that there were huge limits to what I could do.
'CSI' was an amazing experience, which, looking back, I was very lucky to get. They shoot an entire episode in eight days, so everything has to be totally slick and professional.
I'm adventurous; I like change.
What is frustrating is to have others question my motivation, my ethics, and my history.
I'm a person who tries to be compassionate, caring, and warm to every single person I meet.
I befriended a homeless man five years ago, bought him a new set of teeth, helped him get his life on track. A writer for 'Elle' spent two hours talking to this guy and discarded almost everything he said. When the story came out, we both were weeping while reading it on the street!
You might see Al Pacino at the grocers, but you would never go up to him and say, 'Oh my God, you're Al Pacino.'
My husband is very fortunate to be part of the government. It is a great honor and privilege, and in no way is his work, or my part in this, any kind of sacrifice.
Mistakes happen, and we must choose what to do with them. We can ignore them, or we can learn and evolve into someone better and wiser.
You can seek out a lot of publicity if you want, depending on your choices. A lot of major celebrities don't have paparazzi following them.
I played Simone, the French tutor for the daughter of a rich Manhattan couple, who goes to a costume ball as Marie Antoinette. While everyone else in 'CSI' races around in police gear, I had to wear a ballgown and bustle and two wigs. It was very heavy on the make-up side.
I wear SoulCycle stuff every single day of my life.
I think after being kicked and slapped on social media a billion times, I had this one time. This lady said I was a deplorable human being, and that hurt.
I look at amazing fashion icons like Jackie O, and I'm like, Why can't I wear gloves?
I like to try everything, taste everything.
It sucks, being perceived as a person that you're not; it sucks being hated.
I should have realized that what's good for movie stars doesn't work for a Cabinet secretary's wife.
It all happened so fast: I went from regular girl, an actress trying to make it in Hollywood, to a Cabinet spouse in one of the most polarizing administrations ever. It was overwhelming.
L.A. is uninhibited: You're encouraged to express yourself, wear what you want, do what you want, and to speak from a very emotionally honest place. D.C. is different. In Washington, you have to be much more careful about what you say and do. Especially about what you wear!
You can't just, boopity-boop, saunter into the Treasury. You need an appointment.
You should measure me by my actions, the friends I keep, and the charities I support, not by the politics of my husband.
I respect that my husband makes decisions he feels are sensible and intelligent... It's not my place to give him political advice.
All of my besties are gay.
Cabinet spouses are not allowed to lobby other Cabinet members. It's against the rules.
As a result of my husband's position, there is newfound media attention to my every move. I did not imagine this level of scrutiny, but I understand it is now part of my life.
I'm not much of a party girl.
I don't think I'm that recognizable.
I'd love to work with Gerry Butler, Alan Cummings, and Ewan McGregor. It'd be amazing if we could do a Scottish Hollywood movie.
You never really own a diamond. You just get to keep it for a while before it begins a new journey with someone else.
When I look at Deco jewelry, I see the New York skyline - the Chrysler Building.
Don't think that you can go to Washington and dress as an individual. If you want to avoid criticism, you need to be a twin-set-sweater-and-pearls type of girl.
I love my husband, and I wanted to support him, but the transition to Washington has been my hardest experience. I felt very lonely and isolated.
I'm a filmmaker. I'm not a politician.
If you don't see culture in Los Angeles, you're simply not looking.
It's the life of an actor to always be questioning, always be wondering. There is no occupation in the world less dependable.
Watching great performances can transport us, and finding a film that really moves you is a galvanising and inspiring thing.
I've wanted to be an actor since I was six, and I'm going to be an actor until I'm 66.
Charity fundraising galas have always been a wonderful way to support a myriad of causes.
I don't really believe in torpedoing someone's career when they've been absolved of doing something.
It so saddens me that people don't give other people the benefit of the doubt in the way they'd want to be given it.
Maybe I'll create a guidebook for future political spouses: the dos and don'ts in D.C.
Ivanka is the most amazing mother. I go over there and bring one of my dogs for the kids to play with. We're just two young women making our way in the world. We sit there in sweatpants and have a glass of wine.
One of my favorite breakfasts is Greek yogurt with fresh fruit.
I like the brand Fage, and usually go for the two percent because it tastes so good!
People don't want to read about my work with the homeless or the time and money I pour into animal rescue and organizations that fight poaching.
