You don’t have to dumb down – you just have to find a clever, good, secure man. I’ve found a couple – I’ve been lucky – but it’s probably hard for everybody to find that true love of a good man. – Kimora Lee Simmons
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. – Kimora Lee Simmons
I have help, but I’m very hands-on in everything I do. I do normal stuff, I’m a normal mother and I’m a very hardworking woman and I have hundreds of products and many businesses that I do. – Kimora Lee Simmons
We’ve all heard these statistics that teachers at times go into their pockets in the tune of several hundred dollars a year to pay for school supplies and materials. It’s not normal. – Kimora Lee Simmons
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. – Kimora Lee Simmons
I don’t apologize for my diamonds, Rolls-Royce, Range Rover, or anything. Look, Queen Elizabeth has more diamonds than me. Why don’t people attack her for it? – Kimora Lee Simmons
I don’t believe that fashion should exclude people – I have always been about making it accessible to everyone. – Kimora Lee Simmons
You can never control other people. You can only control yourself. I have definitely learned that. – 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. – Kimora Lee Simmons
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. – Kimora Lee Simmons
Live honestly to a higher note. Life is too short. So, do the best you can and live your life to a higher note. – Kimora Lee Simmons
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. – Kimora Lee Simmons
I’m very determined, honest, open and definitely very energetic. I expect a lot as a boss and I’m very demanding, but I ask that of myself too. – Kimora Lee Simmons
It’s not always about the money and the fame, and a lot of people think that it is sometimes. – Kimora Lee Simmons
Women call me all the time and tell me, ‘You inspired me to get out of a bad situation,’ or ‘You inspired me to take the reigns for myself and go and do this.’ I try to tell people to live their best life, and do what you know you need to do for yourself and your family. You need to be supported. – Kimora Lee Simmons
Being a working mom, you want to make a difference in our schools, which is making a difference in our children and ultimately it’s making a difference in our community. – Kimora Lee Simmons
I look forward to spring cleaning and putting things in their place. It’s therapeutic for me. – Kimora Lee Simmons
‘Fabulosity’ is to get up when you’ve been kicked down, and it’s not to go after who kicked you down. – Kimora Lee Simmons
It’s not about how skinny you are or how much money or how many diamonds you have – that’s the fluff that people sometimes look at as being the main thing. It’s about understanding that the things that make you fabulous are all inside of you. – Kimora Lee Simmons
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. – Kimora Lee Simmons
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. – Kimora Lee Simmons
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. – Kimora Lee Simmons
