Nicole Richie

“Music is a huge part of my life, I enjoy every genre of music from jazz to country, and I even get down with a bit of hip hop.”

“I'm not insecure, but I'm not like, 'Hi, I'm confident.'”

“It is important not to copy other people's careers but set the tone of who you want to be. My father's always encouraged me to do that.”

“I think fame is harder when people have something to hide, but I'm very comfortable, and have nothing to hide.”

“My job ranges from creating the initial overall theme of the season, to developing fabrics and sketching to sampling and fitting.”

“I'm a Virgo and I'm really good at scheduling. And I really make it work. I get up 6.30 every day.”

“I went to the University of Arizona. I stopped because I went there for two years and I felt like I experienced college or whatever. I'm over it. I like Hollywood better.”

“'Fashion Star' has been an incredible platform to show America the amount of work and discussion that goes into each garment you see in a store.”

“Being a mentor is something that's new for me but a role that I take very seriously.”

“I admire anyone with their own sense of personal style.”

“I've just gone through so much in my life that pulling my top up just doesn't seem like that big a deal.”

“But my everyday music is classic rock. It's what I relate to the most and where my heart is.”

“I tend to dress a little more sophisticated than most women do.”

“You can see it right away when a person is dressing outside of who she is.”

“I think I look okay.”

“I feel great, very healthy and alive and really happy that I can remember yesterday and I can remember the day before.”

“True friends are like diamonds – bright, beautiful, valuable, and always in style.”

“I think that British girls have a very eclectic and unique style.”

“As for style, there is something about the way musicians dress-they seem to be able to create their own world within their fashion alone.”

“I have really great friends.”
