According to Shields, spreading kindness to others, whether they’re acquaintances or complete strangers, is of great importance to her. She explained, “I can smile at a stranger, I can make someone feel valued and special, and that is really important to do when you can, when you have the power to do it.”
The author of The Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old also emphasized the significance of always respecting others as well as oneself. She said, “Respect is a huge, huge thing to integrate into your lives, and that is respect for yourself without arrogance, because I used to equate that with arrogance, and respect for others, others’ time and others’ feelings at that moment. Just try to be aware of them.”
