I believe dancing is the best stress reliever.

Believe in yourself, listen to your gut, and do what you love.

My parents always told me, 'Do what you love because that is what you will do well in.' They told me to make sure that you are happy.

I always saw candy as art.

My favorite genre is definitely romantic comedy. I love 'When Harry Met Sally.'

Sugar and chocolate, anything that boosts your serotonin levels, is something people, I think, crave.

People will say candy is recession-proof, and we're definitely seeing nostalgic candies coming about, and people want that sugar rush and that nostalgic happiness, like their childhood times.

Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments you wish could have lasted forever.

Pinterest has been helpful to my business. Making inspiration boards is really key to developing products. When I was getting married, I literally cut out tear sheets and put my own boards together. Had I known about Pinterest, I would have been able to do it so much more easily.

I love the BlackBerry. I'm on it all the time. I literally wrote my whole book, 'Unwrap Your Sweet Life,' on the BlackBerry while I was working out on the StairMill. So many people tease me about having a BlackBerry, but I meet a lot of people who still use one. Obama has a BlackBerry!

I don't like sitting still at a desk and often conduct business on my Blackberry or in walking meetings.

My parents were inspired by Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas when naming me. They specifically saved this masculine name for their only girl.

My husband proposed to me on the beach using candy.

The people at Dylan's Candy Bar, they have to have an inner child and a sense of fun... and love the colors and the textures.

The best thing in business is to follow your gut. If a decision is not sitting well with you, don't just make it.

My favorite place in the world is my dad's house in Montauk.

I have a vanilla chai latte every morning, which I usually follow with an oatmeal raisin cookie and eggs for breakfast.

If people try to cut sugar out completely, they often splurge later. That isn't a good idea.

My whole house has a lot of silk flowers - it feels like a garden.

Summer is very precious.

Cut a balance: eat well and then have your sugar fix. Everything in moderation.

When I started Dylan's Candy Bar in 2001, I wanted it to be a place that merged my love of pop culture, fashion, art and music with candy. Since then, we have been fortunate to pioneer artistic partnerships with many legends.

I dye my eyelashes on occasion so I don't have to wear mascara. I find that mascara weighs on my eyes, making me sleepy, and it is a pain to take off.

I love Janet Jackson and her creative set design.

Everything I own has some significance to me.

Anytime you can promote young artists and designers is a cool thing.

I am a picky eater. By that I mean, I love to pick the raisins out of oatmeal raisin cookies, the chips out of chocolate chip cookies, the white side off of black and white cookies, and the vanilla center out of Oreos.

My friends call me Clark Kent: I'm known to change in phone booths.

I love all the gift guides that the magazines put out, whether it's 'InStyle' doing Mother's Day gifts or color guides, or the 'O' magazine Christmas guide.

Before I got married, I never really watched TV. Now, my husband and I watch 'The Bachelor' together. I love 'The Soup' - that's where I get a lot of my pop culture - and 'Chelsea Lately.'

For a while after college, I was thinking of becoming a fitness trainer, and I am a certified aqua trainer.

If I wasn't doing candy, I'd want to create the best rescue animal-shelter organization. Otherwise, the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson were so much a part of my childhood, and Janet and I have become friends. So my second dream job would be backup singer for Janet Jackson!

If these rich women from 5th Avenue spend a fortune on cashmere sweaters, they will come to my store to buy gummy bears.

I know everything about candy. Would you believe I even know where to find gumballs in the middle of Africa?

My parents screened 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' for my 6th birthday, and I became fascinated by the idea of living in a candy land with chocolate rivers and lollipop trees.

My husband is the cook at our house. I can make dessert and salad, but I stay away from meals. He makes amazing omelets, fish, and grilled vegetables like Brussels sprouts and cauliflower.

It's important for me to eat really healthy because I have such a sweet tooth. I eat fish and vegetables for lunch and dinner, and I work out every day.

Red candy is my favorite - I like red string licorice, Swedish Fish, and red gum balls.

Watching my dad, Ralph Lauren, design clothes when I was young, I was always inspired.

My mom is a painter and photographer and my grandfather was an artist, so I've always been surrounded by creative people.

I've been entrepreneurial since middle school. I was always arranging bake sales, dances and school trips to raise money for the Dalton School.

Whenever I meet with nutritionists, we discuss the idea of having everything in moderation and that people should eat protein or fiber when they eat sugar.

When I think of flavours, I think colour, so lemon should be yellow and orange is orange.

I find that the people who don't eat as much candy are really into heavy protein, like steak. I don't eat that.

There's no denying that candy is comfort food and it's affordable.

To save money on gifts, give someone their favorite candy in a beautiful, customized vessel with a personalized tag. It's sweet and always appreciated.

Every two months, I allow myself a splurge day where I eat thick, doughy pizza from Pizzeria Uno or an ice cream sundae from my store with birthday-cake ice cream, Marshmallow Fluff, and toppings mixed in.

On really hot days, I try to motivate friends and family to come into the pool for an aqua jogging session which I teach. Aqua jogging is a great way to avoid the impact of regular walking or jogging on land. This is especially beneficial for those who have joint pain or who are healing from an injury.

While I'm in L.A. I always make time for my favorite activity which is hiking. The trails in California are amazing, as they are always challenging, and I never get bored from all the beautiful scenery.

I always liked the idea of leadership and being a captain.
