Foot Locker, Saks, Lord & Taylor... "It's a denim line, mostly athleisure line. I just wanted to create clothes that work for all women, all sizes, which was why I did my partnership with Ashley Stewart. I was really honored to be able to just create fashion for women of all shapes and sizes and allow women the opportunity to say that they feel confident in my clothes." La La has the same philosophy with her capsule collection, Motives for La La, with makeup company, Motives. Again, she created an inclusive collection with shades for all women. "Everything I do is just about catering to all women, all shapes, all sizes, all skin tones, and just finding a way to make all women feel confident and beautiful about themselves." She's also just about ready to begin writing her third book. Her first two books, The Love Playbook ["went #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list"] and The Power Playbook were both well-received. "I don't know what it's about yet, but I'm starting to wrap my mind around what that is. It's a series, The Love Playbook, The Power Playbook..." You seem to have your hand in everything —TV/ film, fashion, beauty, publishing—, is there anything you haven't done yet, that you would like to do? "No, I just want to continue to grow in the acting space and producing. I think it's important to produce because you can control what content you put out there and really do things that feel good for you, and what you stand for. Producing gives you the control and you're not just waiting for somebody to cast you in something, so I really just want to continue to develop my production company [La La Land] as well as my resume as an actor —that's where I'm putting most of my energy right now."

"It was random. I put like a couple of dollars in the machine, and I pressed it and it went off and went crazy and I ended up winning like $68,000 or something. Do you know how many of my friends called me in front of that same slot machine like, 'Was this the one you played?' And they literally were trying to play it. It's luck. It's random. It was after a party one night. It was super late. We were walking back to the hotel and I was like, Let's just try really quick, for fun. And it went haywire! I screamed. I fell to the ground. My whole family was there. We lost it. You could look up the video. We were screaming at the top of our lungs. It was a crazy moment."
