00:00 Not drinking has been the best thing I've ever done for myself because I have so much clarity.

00:09 And, you know, it's also good to keep the extra pounds off, I will say, especially during the holidays.

00:16 But I like to be present when I'm in conversation with people, and I like to absorb what other people are thinking,

01:33 There's nothing better than the best accessory, and that is a shoe.

01:37 So the fact that we've mastered it, I feel like, and are being honored for it, is very beautiful.
