Nicole Richie
I have really great friends.
I never want to disappoint my parents, ever. They are people that I always look up to.
I do love to shop. But I'm a social shopper. I like to do it while hanging out with my friends. Some of them hate shopping because they treat it like something you have to plan, like a grocery list. But if I'm out and I pass a store, I just pop in.
I think fame is harder when people have something to hide, but I'm very comfortable, and have nothing to hide.
I'm not insecure, but I'm not like, 'Hi, I'm confident.'
True friends are like diamonds – bright, beautiful, valuable, and always in style.Collection: Friendship
I wish everyone could hear the soundtrack for my life that I hear in my head.Collection: Wish
You just have to go after what you want and if it doesn't want you back then so be it; it doesn't deserve you anyways.Collection: Deserve You
Life just makes so much more sense with black framed glasses on.Collection: Glasses

I woke up today knowing everything about everything.Collection: Knowing Everything
It's hard to tell who has your back, from who has it long enough just to stab you in it.Collection: Friendship
The early bird might catch the worm, but I bet it also needs a ton of under eye concealerCollection: Eye
Life is about doing the things that make you happy, not the things that please other people. If you can please other people, that's a plus, but as long as you're not hurting anyone, you're golden.Collection: Hurt
People who try to be something they are not, the most attractive thing to me are people who are 100% authentically them. And I appreciate and actually always look for people that are different than me in friendships, because that helps me grow.Collection: Attractive Things
I think it's extremely important to speak to the role of friendship in business. There's enough people talking about funding and capital. I want to talk about how important it is to surround yourself with people that have more experience than you, but also people that have different experience and interests than you.Collection: Thinking
Oh my god. I just hung around with an unpretty person. Excuse me while I go home to scrub myself with expensive body wash and a pink loofah, to rid myself of the unpretty germs.Collection: Home
I'm not going to change myself because I think it'll make somebody like me more. And in terms of being a business, I've found that when you're always in the people-pleasing mode, that's the easiest way to lose control of your brand's DNA. I want to sit across from someone who's authentically who they are, even if they're not my personal cup of tea. It's still more comforting than being across from someone who's making moves to please other people!Collection: Moving
I have to wear heels. There are some things that you just have to do.Collection: Heels
I believe there are only one or two people in the world with whom one can have a true connection. When you've been fortunate enough to marry one of those people, you are reluctant to settle for less. One can have lovers, those are easily found, but true love rarely strikes twice.Collection: Believe
I have really good instincts about friends.Collection: Instinct
I'm a Virgo and the sign is a virgin. So when I was 16, I got the word virgin tattooed on my wrist, thinking I was sooo deep and cool. And now I just look really weird having virgin written across my wrist and I have to explain it.Collection: Thinking
They may signify wealth, but they can actually mean so much more-like committment, family, and love. And there's nothing like a perfect diamond to remind you that you'll never be perfect - the truth is, all you can do is try.Collection: Mean
Guys are so transparent most of the time. Unless, of course, they're dating you, in which case they are utter mysteries.Collection: Dating
When you grow up in Bel Air and shop only in expensive boutiques on Rodeo and Robertson, you develop a kind of allergy to anything unpretty -clothes, cars... even people... you start thinking that if you hang around unattractive people, their homeliness can be contagious.Collection: Growing Up
I grew up with him [Michael Jackson] and I've spent a lot of time at Neverland and nothing has ever happened with me in any way. You have to look at both sides. I do think it is very convenient that his album came out and all this stuff is happening. I definitely do think that's very convenient... It really hurts me to see that his whole life is ruined.Collection: Hurt
An eating disorder is serious and it’s a disease, and I don’t think you can lightly say that someone has a disease unless they’re openly telling you that they do.Collection: Thinking
With every year, I always try and learn something new and grow gracefully, and that's just kind of my rule for every year.Collection: Years
Have a nice rest of your life.Collection: Nice
People who type with their iPhones on loud are barbarians and probably killers.Collection: Iphone
Always keep bobby pins on hand. It's amazing what you can do with those in a time crunch.Collection: Hands

All the boys in rehab are totally available because their girlfriends have all given up on them. It's fantastic.Collection: Girlfriend
I've always been someone who's extremely relaxed in my everyday life. I'm not the girl who can wear awful seven-inch heels all night. I keep it simple - I consider myself to be a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl who just accessorizes a lot.Collection: Girl
A fashion icon to me is somebody who has, the first person who struck you and introduced you to the world of fashion, and that person is my mom.Collection: Mom
When I pictured heroin, I pictured some crazy crackhead with no shoes under a bridge. You never think that is going to be you. And it never was me. I was never under a bridge, and I always had shoes.Collection: Funny
Everything good in life is either immoral, illegal or fattening.Collection: Life Is
But my everyday music is classic rock. It’s what I relate to the most and where my heart is.Collection: Heart
The older you get, the more you realize you need a handful of good, close, tight friends.Collection: Needs
It's hard for me to describe my own style because I'm me.Collection: Style
It's very easy for me to say that I think everybody should just be treated how they're supposed to be treated and tattoos shouldn't come into play. But what if someone has an offensive throat tattoo that might affect someone's business? I am sure there are a lot of opportunities out there for everybody.Collection: Tattoo
I encourage costumers to not focus on trends but to just wear whatever they feel like wearing because I think that's when a woman looks most attractive - when she's the most comfortable.Collection: Thinking
I try to focus less on the actual items and more on the way they make me feel. I like color around my face because it does something to me emotionally. I don't like to wear black because it brings me down.Collection: Color
I'm hugely inspired by the '60s and the '70s. I just love the music of that time and the overall freedom of that era. I love that the idea of clashing didn't really exist. You could mix prints on prints, you could mix fabrics and colors - and it was more about the way you felt than about the label and trends. That's something that I've always gravitated towards.Collection: Color
Be kind to everybody, be grateful, say thank you everyday. My parents taught me well.Collection: Grateful
I'm hugely inspired by music. I am a big listener of 60's and 70's classic rock. And i really just love the overall freedom of that time, of the late 60's and 70's. I love that you had so many different ways of expressing yourself, fashion was really one of them, the idea of clashing didn't exist, and people were using clothes as an opportunity to express who they were. That is inspiring to me - you could mix textiles, fabrics, you were 100% who you were, and that's where my main inspiration comes from.Collection: Fashion
Australia is one of my favorite places in the world. I spend a lot of time there. And I find Sydney a lot like LA in some ways, and it's beautiful, great for kids, and I absolutely love it over there.Collection: Beautiful
Spending time by myself is VERY important to me and I wake up pretty early, I wake up around 5 in the morning, and I get to have a couple hours to myself, and that is definitely I think really important to me and I think it's important for moms to have that too. And I love to carve out time for myself and sometimes I'll hang out with girlfriends, but i like to keep things pretty intimate.Collection: Mom
Well my favorite thing about being a mom is getting to relive your childhood all over again, that's one of my favorite things. And my favorite thing about being a wife? I have more freedom to just be crazy, because he's already stuck with me.Collection: Mom
