FAVORITE SCENE IN A MOVIE In Falling Down, when Michael Douglas orders the breakfast menu at a fast-food place and he’s refused because it’s five past 11 o’clock and they stop serving it at 11. I think it sums up a lot about our society.

FAVORITE BOOKS Most of Françoise Sagan. Right now I’m reading the second book in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series.

IF I WERE A PIECE OF SUSHI, I’D BE “Uni [sea urchin]— quite scary and intimidating when you’ve never tasted it, but great and unique when you dare to go for it.”

IF I WERE A PIECE OF JEWELRY, I’D BE “A simple one-diamond ring.”

IF I WERE A CAR, I’D BE “An Aston Martin DB4. My dad used to have one and I’m still so upset he sold it. It was so powerful. In the meantime, I now drive a vintage green Mini Cooper. It suits me perfectly!”

“The thing about Julia is that she’s gorgeous and has great style, but she’s much more than a fashion person. She’s a smart, nice, talented art director and graphic designer who also has a great sense of style. We need more people in fashion like her!”—MICKEY BOARDMAN

“Julia is one of the few ladies in the world who can make sexy look stylish and chic. The only other person I can think of who does that, aside from Carine [Roitfeld], is Angelina Jolie. So she’s in great company!”—GENEVIEVE JONES
