KIMORA LEE SIMMONS

I try to do everything from the viewpoint of what's best for my kids. I have three kids and two great dads and it's not always easy, but you have to try to be a little selfless and we manage just fine.

You never want to do anything that you don't want your mother to see, because it will haunt you and eventually come back to bite you!

I was bullied and picked on because I was so different to everyone else, and I definitely didn't believe or even know I was fabulous back then. But those hard times made me everything I am today. It's all water under the bridge now, but being bullied and going through adversity definitely made me stronger.

You don't see me in the clubs unless I'm throwing a party for Fashion Week.

I think my customers, my fans are really like my family now - it's like a movement of fabulosity.

Even if you can't afford to travel the world, you can take your children to the museum, zoo or local park. And don't be afraid to take them to grown-up spots. Eating out in a restaurant teaches children how to be quiet and polite and gives them the pleasure of knowing you trust them to behave.

I'm not one of those Hollywood moms where my kid is three weeks old and I'm a size zero. I'm a real woman and I'm a working woman and a working mom.

Yes, I live a crazy, exciting, whatever life, but I do think it's quite relatable because it has to be - I'm just a girl from St Louis, Missouri that has lived life like anyone else. There are things that are crazy and over the top, but the basic thread is my family, my career, trying to live and pursuing my dreams.

I have a really big mouth, I have a lot of opinions and I will be heard.

All children can do things to help, whether how big or small - by donating toys or lending a hand in the community.

I wanted my closet to look like a boutique.

Very few people know this, but I love organizational products and tools. One of my favorite places to shop are container stores where you can get bins, boxes and crates to organize your life.

Relationships do change throughout the course of your life, and I always think in terms of relationships changing and evolving rather than starting and stopping.

My girls and I regularly go through their rooms to find clothes and toys to donate to charities. I firmly believe that children who have been given so much need to experience the joy that comes from giving.

You can never control other people. You can only control yourself. I have definitely learned that.

I have a lot of hang-ups in life with men. I'm not very trusting.

I don't believe that fashion should exclude people - I have always been about making it accessible to everyone.

I don't eat too much. I don't have a lot of time, but I can get in a little treadmill. I eat healthily just because it's good for me, and running after my three kids takes a lot of energy.

I'm very neurotic is what my closet says about me. It's always in great order.

My family is the most important thing to me.

I'm much more into old-world, intimate conversations on the phone. I like to write letters.

A lot of the things I hold onto have memories attached to them. Bags, shoes and jewelry that were given to me from photo shoots and fashion shows throughout my career.

I think one great tip is that you should always love yourself. If you don't love yourself, take care of yourself, cater to yourself and that little inner voice, you will really not be very worthy of being with someone else, because you won't be the best version of you.

Like every mom, you try to juggle, but I also want people to know that you don't have to be a superhero. I'm not a superhero; I have a team of people who help me. I have a great family support system.

It was tough for me at school... trying to blend in and get along with other kids. I was an oddity and kids are scared of things they don't understand.
