"I personally don't carry a lot of equipment (when traveling to do fashion show catwalk), but I do travel with my makeup artists, hairstylists and photographers who have the coolest advanced gadgets. In our latest trip to the Maldives, my hairstylist prepared wired hair structures for my looks which resulted in a bit of a surprise at the airport scanning counter."

"I believe fashion shows should be more than just being visually attractive. They should convey a meaningful message or a call for a better future. We are living in a special time when sustainable practices must be implemented to protect our future and the future of the younger generation. There are different ways to stimulate global mindsets toward green living - I chose the creative approach. And it's helped me promote everything from solar power, hydro power and wind power to recycling, upcycling, and now the sustainable supply chain, which is a big part of the fashion industry."

"I think there are so many different ways to communicate sustainability, and our way is to look at it from a more creative perspective."

"A new spring is coming, bringing along with it a new vitality and confidence. To take full advantage of opportunities and overcome challenges, our entire Party, army and people should strengthen solidarity, join their forces and unanimity, and uphold their spirit of patriotism, skills, virtues and long-standing traditions of Vietnam, continuing to try their best to put the Party’s Resolution into life and determine to make our Party stronger and more transparent, making our country to further develop, and our people’s lives more prosperous, well-fed and happier."

"The international and domestic landscapes are changing rapidly, in complicated and unpredictable ways, with opportunities intertwining with challenges and adversities. This poses new, more complex and more urgent questions to our cause of nation-building, renewal and development. The revolutionary cause of our Party and people is still faced with a multitude of hardships and challenges. The four threats warned by our Party still remain relevant, perhaps even more severe in certain aspects. Hostile elements are relentlessly working to subvert the revolutionary cause of our Party and people through denying the leadership of the Party and dividing the Party from the people, with the aim of overthrowing our Party and polity."

"The many-thousand-year-long history of our nation has proved that the love for the country, the preservation of the country, the resolute fight against foreign invasion, and the defense of national independence, sovereignty and unification constitute an extremely precious tradition of our people. Building on this tradition, since the mid-19th century when our country was invaded by the French colonialists, never subjugated to slavery, our people had kept rising up in continual and forceful patriotic movements characterized by multiple paths and tendencies, ranging from national salvation paths chosen by scholars to rebellions by peasants and bourgeois-styled revolutionary paths, etc. However, despite their staunchness, wholeheartedness and immense sufferings, all those movements ended in failure due to historical limitations, most notably the lack of a judicious line. A new path was dictated by history."

"Globalization and global integration are on the right track, but they are met with the rise of extreme nationalism, strategic competition and trade wars."

"At different Party Congresses, we issued resolutions on the task of Party building and rectification, considering it a key long-term task. Each Resolution has its own focus, but there is always one constant point that all sectors of different levels, cadres, Party members and the entire people all are aware of the necessity to regularly and continuously take care of implementing the task of Party building and rectification."

"We must focus on building a contingent of cadres, especially those at strategic level, who have sufficient qualification, capability, prestige on a par with their mission, and uphold the responsibility of setting example of cadres and Party members."

"The struggles against phenomena of degradation in political thoughts, morals and lifestyle are not yet carried out with due vigor. It is exhibited by the insincere and superficial process of self-criticism and criticism in a number of places from time to time. It also includes the unwillingness to admit but blame the mistakes on external circumstances, and hesitation in confronting wrongdoings. Inspections and supervision are executed irregularly and irresolutely with limited scope. Early warning and prevention of violations remain inefficient."

"Human needs to go through the abyss of pains and loss, because the more we suffer-the better. Con người cần phải được đau khổ, bởi có đau khổ mới hiểu được giá trị của hạnh phúc."

"The humiliation brings me more strength and passion for life. Sự sỉ nhục giúp tôi trưởng thành hơn."

"Forgiveness is the highest nobleminded revenge. Tha thứ là sự trả thù cao thượng nhất."

"In persevering through my own darkness, I found, I call it my immortal soul, and sanctuary, who can survive whatever life throws at me. Life's so short. To get up every morning and take a good look around in a way that takes nothing for granted. Every day is a gift. Never treat life casually. Never let the bitterness and devilry steal your sweetness, happiness. DRA-2015. Chậm rãi đi qua những khoảng tối của đời mình, tôi nhận ra, tôi gọi nó bằng cái tên: linh hồn bất tử, kẻ mà có thể tồn tại trước bất kỳ điều gì mà cuộc sống ném vào. Cuộc sống ngắn ngủi. Để thức dậy mỗi sớm mai, nhìn quanh và thấy không có gì phải hối tiếc. Mỗi ngày là một món quà tặng. Đừng bao giờ hờ hững với cuộc đời mình. Đừng bao giờ để cho sự cay đắng và tàn nhẫn của đời lấy đi những dịu ngọt và hạnh phúc của bản thân. DRA-2015"
