I try to tell myself SOMETHING encouraging to get myself pumped for the DAY.

I'm not very good in the mornings and OFTEN stay up late WRITING, so I GET up at about 10am if I'm not on set for the day. I take our dog, Milo, for a walk before having a light breakfast and SETTLING down to WRITE.

Even THOUGH I am not HUNGRY when I get up, I try to eat to get me ready for the DAY. Within an hour of GETTING up.

I LONG for the day when ADVERTISING will become a business for a GROWN man.

I will thank GOD for the DAY and the MOMENT I have.

If you don't SET the TONE for the DAY, the DEVIL will set it for you.

I KEEP WAITING for the day in which everyone who loves 'Downton Abbey' will realize they were actually watching a HISTORICAL romance NOVEL.

If you're not interested in history, if you're living for the day, you need some sort of CLICHE HOOK. I CERTAINLY don't think of myself as a cult anything. It's a strange THING to even CONSIDER pursuing.

Being a historian, if only for the DAY, teaches you useful things LIKE judgment, and the ABILITY to detect when SOMEONE is LYING to you.

I always have to have my LIPSTICK. Sometimes I have more than one shade: start with one color for the morning, one for night. Sometimes I have a couple shades just in case I NEED something more powerful for the DAY.

As a designer, when someone wears my clothes, the biggest COMPLIMENT I can receive is that the woman looks AMAZING because my designs have flattered her, not TAKEN over her. I take that philosophy to heart myself each morning when I am getting READY for the day.

I grew up in Bedford, N.Y., and it was close ENOUGH to Jones BEACH on Long Island that every SUMMER my MOTHER would pack the car for the day, and we would DRIVE to the beach!

The CATCH phrase for the DAY is 'Do an ACT of kindness. Help one person SMILE.'

I THINK that any MOMS that leave, even for the day at work, and come home EVERY night will TELL you that it's not easy.

When I FINISH my school work for the day, I like to go PLAY basketball, ride my bike or skateboard, play video games, or go free RUNNING.
