“I live in Utah.”

“Every man - and every woman, too - needs a white sneaker.”

“We have the luxury in the West of being able to say, 'Yeah, absolutely, we're progressive, we've moved forward with the gay community.' We haven't in a lot of other countries. My people from Pakistan - I know we haven't moved forward.”

“A boot cut does not look great on most people.”

“I love a boot. It's an easy transition for all surroundings - not too casual, not too formal. You look like you're off to your engagement photos, even if you're going down to a pub with your friends afterward.”

“I lived a very, very Middle Eastern life until I was in my early 20s. It was very sheltered.”

“I have to battle so many issues, and the biggest is racism.”

“Each of us is living our own private journey, and the more we know about each other, the healthier and happier the world will be.”

“I learned to cook when I was ten, and I could cook a whole meal for my family by thirteen - and I'm talking the chapatis as well.”

“I thought 'I, Tonya' was fantastic.”

“The main must-have is a capsule wardrobe. I think it's really important that everybody, men and women, have a few items in their closets that are their go-tos. No matter what the occasion, they have something in their closets that they can go to.”

“I think that we in the West expect people to adapt to our culture very, very quickly when they come to our country. But when we go over to someone else's, I don't think we are willing to meet them halfway like we expect them to meet us. I think having cultural sensitivity is a lot more important than we realize.”

“If you have items in your closet that you haven't worn in a year, then you're never going to wear them.”

“Nobody needs an abundance of plaid.”

“I love to wear shades when I'm out and about.”

“Jeans can make or break a look, and if it's not a good-fitting pair, if they don't flatter your body, it doesn't matter what else you've got on - it's not going to look good.”

“I'm so sick of straight men in boardshorts. It couldn't be more unattractive.”

“I think Disney plays a really important part in fashion.”

“A lot of times, we forget it is our partners who we need to make the biggest effort for.”

“I think being fashion forward is stepping out of your comfort zone with just even a single piece - an accessory, footwear, a dress - something that shows your style but is just a bit outside of your comfort zone.”
