We did a whole fraternity house. We made them over.

Show's going well. New season starting, we're on the road.

One of my co-workers at Ralph Lauren heard about the show, and when she got back to the office, said; Carson, you have to call Bravo. They're doing a show. You're perfect for it.

I was into Barbie and designer jeans.

On our show, I've only reached out and touched about 55 guys. I think there's still about 40 million.

I am not much about rules, I like to break 'em and don't like to make 'em.

Challenge yourself, jump off the deep end and learn to swim.

Compare yourself to yourself and say, 'How can I be better? How can I be the real me?'

Friends think your life is so glamorous, and it is. But there are times when, instead of going to a glamorous party, I would rather just come home from work, pop in a DVD and eat some microwave popcorn with a cutie on the sofa.

I hoped I could make people smile and laugh and have a good time.

I learned how to dance. I got a free spray tan. My life is good!

I love fashion, but it's always been my job, whereas horseriding is my hobby.

I love music. I love going out dancing.

I think ultimately I make people happy: Whether I'm doing the stage show, giving somebody a makeover, or designing clothing, the end goal is to make people smile.

I wasn't always this confident. Growing up as the awkward gay kid in a small town in Pennsylvania, you're constantly told, 'Don't be yourself, don't be proud of who you are.'

I've always believed that clothing is a great way to tell your story.

I've been doing makeovers on TV for years and years and years. It's something I really know how to do. I also know personally what it's like to not feel good about yourself.

It's incredibly hard to program a network from scratch for 24 hours.

It's really important to share the idea that being different might feel like a problem at the time, but ultimately diversity is a strength.

My method of helping someone is saying, 'Wow, you look amazing. Let me help you look even better.' I think tearing someone down is an awful thing to do. It has a lasting impression on people.

People are much deeper than stereotypes. That's the first place our minds go. Then you get to know them and you hear their stories, and you say, 'I'd have never guessed.'

We came, we saw, we bedazzled! You know, and it's hard to be serious and thoughtful when you're dressed like a Skittle.

When I was growing up, I was obviously gay, and I got heckled every day of my life. The only way I knew how to survive was to make people laugh. If I could make them laugh, I wouldn't get hung in a locker for two hours. That's a blessing.

Whether you're gay or straight, with a physical disability, your skin's a different color, it's absurd in this age to not be aware and be concerned of the inequity in rights.

Its really important to share the idea that being different might feel like a problem at the time but ultimately diversity is a strength.

To be a performance artist, you have to hate theatre. Theatre is fake... The knife is not real, the blood is not real, and the emotions are not real. Performance is just the opposite: the knife is real, the blood is real, and the emotions are real.

The feeling of insecurity is inimical to our sense of wellbeing, as it causes anxiety and stress, which harms our physical and mental health. It is no surprise then that, according to some surveys, workers across the world value job security more highly than wages.

You'd never have a motorcycle policeman out on the Indian reservation.

It's actually shocking to me how hard it's been to get back into the movie business.

But there are still only certain film genres where a woman can stand out, be heroic, be the centerpiece.

Men like to provide for women and their families. It's in their DNA. I'm obviously no scientist, but I bet if you could hear a Y-chromosome talk, it would say, 'I want to provide and hunt.' When the woman is the primary breadwinner, it's going against nature. I'm not saying that it's bad or wrong, I'm just saying that it can feel off.

I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.

Tolerance The virtue that makes one bite his tongue so that he can tear out his hair.

It had never occurred to me that my colour - or lack of it - was an issue for some people, but then I moved to Sydney, and apparently it was. People look at me and don't see what they think is a typical Aboriginal. Thankfully, my mother raised me well in knowing where I come from and who I am, and I'm proud of that.

While Pickstown may not be what it once was, it still is framed by the natural beauty of the ancient river, the sweep of the Great Plains, and the long, unbroken shoreline of the lake behind the dam. It gave me a 19th-century childhood in a modern mid-20th-century town, and for that I will always be grateful.

It was a question of helping a man prepare in the way that suits him best. The theory is if you give a man responsibility for his own actions, then it is up to him to accept that responsibility.

People may get tired of hearing from me, but I don't think I'll ever run out of things that I want to write about.

Perfectionism is a dangerous state of mind in an imperfect world

Forty Wall Street is probably the most beautiful tower in New York.

Despair makes victims sometimes victors.

The rope by which the great blocks of taxes are attached to any citizenry is simple loyalty.

I never saw a gun until I was 24. I didn't grow up in Mayberry; I grew up in Southern California.

General rebellions and revolts of a whole people never were encouraged now or at any time. They are always provoked.

I think anger is a normal response to something horrible that someone has done, another human being has done, and to rob people of life, and that's actually healthy to have, to feel that. At some point you have to figure out, 'How do I let that go?'

If you don't feel comfortable in a plunging sweater, skin-tight jeans and killer heels, go home and change.

I'm interested in films, in directing.

History speaks pretty clearly that the markets do better with Democrats. Republicans' ideas of what constitutes fiscal responsibility simply are not good for the stock market. Democrats have many tendencies, but one of them is to look after the workers, and actually that tends to be good for demand and good for markets.
