I’m from L.A., so I’m used to seeing people in sunglasses and flip-flops. There’s something so romantic about a man in a scarf and a knitted hat. – Meghan Markle
I was not a girl who grew up buying $100 candles. I was the girl who ran out of gas on her way to an audition. – Meghan Markle
I would love to do anything from a really gritty, interesting, indie type film, to that commercial, bigger stuff. – Meghan Markle
On a normal day, I love a shift dress with flats and a little cropped jacket. That, for me, is my travel wear if it’s not too chilly – you can throw a scarf over your legs if it’s cold on the plane! – Meghan Markle
I do think there’s some value to really throwing yourself into food and embracing where it comes from. – Meghan Markle
I will always find my light. No question. And if I don’t, I’ll know, because my dad will be the first person to call me and say, like, ‘You need to have him bring another 2K in,’ and ‘Why aren’t you using this sort of lighting gel?’ The crew guys know that it’s where I grew up. – Meghan Markle
Food makes travel so exceptional, because you get to taste what it’s actually supposed to taste like. To eat the real Pad Thai or finally have a proper curry is something pretty amazing. – Meghan Markle
I’m really big on day dates. If you go for a stroll, have a picnic or lunch with a glass of wine – it doesn’t get better than that. – Meghan Markle
I’m an actress, a writer, the editor-in-chief of my lifestyle brand ‘The Tig’, a pretty good cook, and a firm believer in handwritten notes. – Meghan Markle
As I’ve gotten older, I like longer dresses, but my legs come up to my ears, and I’m not very tall, so when I wear a short skirt,I’ve got to be really conscious. – Meghan Markle
Put on a sweater and really great sneakers with a big scarf, and you’ll look so stylish. For me, they are an everyday essential. – Meghan Markle
For dinner parties, I love making an easy cioppino using shrimp, mussels, clams, and a hearty fish that won’t fall apart easily. – Meghan Markle
It’s really attractive if a man has a skill that you want to improve in yourself. If you can learn from someone, then that’s sexy. – Meghan Markle
I never want to lose touch with reality. I won’t push $100 candles just because. I realized that I could create a hub of positivity and affirmation. – Meghan Markle
I’m deeply and passionately involved in the design process. I’m a brash American, and if my name is going to be on something, I’m going to have my say. – Meghan Markle
Make a choice: continue living your life feeling muddled in this abyss of self-misunderstanding, or you find your identity independent of it. You push for colour-blind casting; you draw your own box. You introduce yourself as who you are, not what colour your parents happen to be. – Meghan Markle
While most become star struck by A-list actors, you’ll only see me in awe of leaders effecting change. Politician and diplomat Madeleine Albright, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. These are my heroes. These are my celebrities. – Meghan Markle
I have always loved watermelon and relish any opportunity to eat it, whether plain or diced up with feta and mint and tossed with a little olive oil. It makes me think of summertime. On set and at home, I try to always have a container of watermelon sprinkled with cinnamon because it elevates the flavor just a notch and makes it feel special. – Meghan Markle
I love the opportunity to get properly dressed up. I’ve worn three Lanvin dresses, and they’ve all been a dream. They’re so well made, with the most beautiful craftsmanship. I don’t tend to go with things that are ornate – just beautifully made pieces and some classic jewelry. Let the work speak for itself. I love that. – Meghan Markle
I started working at a soup kitchen in skid row of Los Angeles when I was 13 years old, and the first day, I felt really scared. I was young, and it was rough and raw down there, and though I was with a great volunteer group, I just felt overwhelmed. – Meghan Markle
I never thought I would become an actress. I always wanted to get into politics, and I moved to Argentina and worked for the U.S. embassy for a bit. It sort of happened upon me when I was home for the holiday – acting, that is – and I stuck with it. – Meghan Markle
Definitely working on ‘Deal or No Deal’ was a learning experience, and it helped me to understand what I would rather be doing. – Meghan Markle
My wardrobe for ‘Suits’ isn’t like ‘Working Girl’ – dressing for work doesn’t have to be so on-the-nose these days. The key is to have your own point of view attached to it. Personally, I love cropped pants in vegan leather, a great fitted blazer, and a button-down. – Meghan Markle
I love Nars blush in Orgasm. I use it on and off camera because it gives you a nice glow from within. My favorite mascara is Diorshow Iconic, and then I love the Make Up For Ever HD Powder. It lets your skin look shiny and fresh, but not greasy-shiny. – Meghan Markle
I’m the person friends come to when they want to find the perfect restaurant or boutique hotel on the outskirts of Paris. As opposed to scouring the Internet for a travel guide, wouldn’t you rather ask the people who are really cool who go there? That’s what I do. – Meghan Markle
