The real story is that I am very free, that I've managed to be who I wanted to be without compromising.

Makeup should have one function only - to make you look better, to make you more attractive...Makeup is a luxury, so it should be fun...Making up is like telling yourself a secret.

You know I have never met a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.

Don't be afraid of your own strength.

It's very often true that some women look better without makeup, but that's only during the day.

The girls who were unanimously considered beautiful often rested on their beauty alone. I felt I had to do things, to be intelligent and develop a personality in order to be seen as attractive. By the time I realized maybe I wasn't plain and might even possibly be pretty, I had already trained myself to be a little more interesting and informed.

The wrap dress is the most traditional form of dressing: It's like a robe, it's like a kimono, it's like a toga. It doesn't have buttons or zippers. What made it different was that it was jersey; therefore, it was close to the body and it was a print.
