"The formula of happiness and success is just, being actually yourself, in the most vivid possible way you can."
"Well, it has to do with very deep things, because it might be that imagining yourself as a girl is a diminishment. But it is something that when I made "The Devil Wears Prada" it was the first time in my life, 30 years of making movies, that a man came up and said I know how you felt. I know how you felt. I have a job like that. People understand."

"Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple - love, sex and food!"
"The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy."
"What makes you different or weird, that's your strength."
"I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that's what you're going to count on. In the end, it's what feels right to you. Not what your mother told you. Not what some actress told you. Not what anybody else told you but the still, small voice."
"The minute you start caring about what other people think, is the minute you stop being yourself."
