Obviously, everyone’s different, but I love just settling down and having a barbecue with my friends at the house.

Modeling is really what I do during my free time. It’s fun for me, so it doesn’t feel like work. I choose to do it.

Just do something that makes you stand out. Even if not everyone likes it, just do it.

It’s incredible how people come up to me and say ‘Gabby, you inspired me to do anything I can set my mind to’. It’s truly an honor.

I like looking good. But it’s also about the feeling, right?

I’ve always said the one advantage an actor has of converting to a director is that he’s been in front of the camera. He doesn’t have to get in front of the camera again, subliminally or otherwise.

I like finding talent. That’s what really turns me on, I suppose.

Like anybody, I like clothes, and I enjoy what I like to wear. We might have a difference in personal outfit choices. Some might not like it. But to judge someone because of their appearance is pretty foolish. If you have time to do that, I suggest you look at yourself in the mirror and spend more time developing yourself. Come on, it’s 2013.

Our knowledge of circumstances has increased, but our uncertainty, instead of having diminished, has only increased. The reason of this is, that we do not gain all our experience at once, but by degrees; so our determinations continue to be assailed incessantly by fresh experience; and the mind, if we may use the expression, must always be under arms.

There are people who are wise enough and motivated enough to change their lives and live their dreams, and then there are those who need a kick in the pants to change their ways.

Today, you expand or you are expendable.

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as the reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

I just really love doing what I do.

An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. The truly wise person is colorblind

The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it. It’s a great outlet. As for myself, I’m not sure who I am. It seems that I change every day.

One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.

Joy can only be real if people look upon their life as a service and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness.

An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person’s main task in life – becoming a better person.
