“Actually, I live in T-shirts and True Religion jeans.”

“Being at the vanguard of fashion in New York is magical.”

“I rely on accessories to add color and texture; if I'm already wearing something attention-getting, neutral-tone pumps keep the look from going over-the-top.”

“It's not that I'm a control freak - but I am. I want to make sure everything is perfect.”

“Ivanka was asking her work contacts at the White House to write to her at her private email - the exact offense the Trumps had lambasted Hillary Clinton for during the general election. Would anyone chant 'Lock her up!' about Ivanka's private server? Doubtful.”

“I believed that regardless of political ideologies - the reality was I didn't even have any - which is no excuse, and it's a horrible thing to admit, but I've admitted it - you can't get into something not knowing who the players are, but also not understanding that policy and ethics go together.”

“It's perfectly acceptable to wear a short dress to formal occasions.”

“I have ambition and drive, and I'm passionate about the fashion industry.”

“Fashion was not something that I knew about. It just wasn't really particularly interesting.”

“I've always adored Sophia Loren.”

“I'm a worker. I need to keep busy.”

“Ivanka would never stop trying to muscle in on Melania's events.”

“When you make a mistake, own up to it.”

“After being at Vogue' for two years in PR, I decided to bring all events in-house. That's how I became the director of events.”

“I didn't lie that I read Vogue' every day or that I grew up loving fashion, but I did know how to roll up my sleeves and do whatever it took to learn it.”

“I realized we're all perfectly imperfect, which was a big thing. Perfectionism, to me, was an important thing.”

“Sweaters in light hues function perfectly as between-season buffers.”

“I put on three or four outfits a day during Fashion Week.”

“What attracted me to Melania is her strength, her independence, her doesn't-matter-what-anybody-else-thinks attitude.”

“My BlackBerry is essential to my survival.”
