I was building my work, and it took me a long time. For a good five or six years I was just kind of bobbing around, doing everything and anything.

I must say, Gisele's [Bundhen] got some of the best hair I've ever touched.

Beautiful things are different.

With Steven Meisel, I'd looked at his work from afar and always loved it, and when I started to work with him, I was blown away. He taught me so much about looking at women and looking at images.

I haven't got a good reputation with pain.

I used to have more meltdowns backstage than I do [now].... It's not that it was ever cool, but right now, it just seems very uncool to have a meltdown. I'm not saying I'll never have one! But I've learnt to stop it just before it happens.

To be a good hairdresser, you have to understand what the vision is of the designer or the photographer and then sort of add your thing.
