I'm not giving up on my work. I'm still trying to challenge people's aesthetics and myself.

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.

I like hair that's been 'worn in' because it's much easier to deal with.... I actually don't like it when [models] come in with this beautiful, thick, glossy hair. I think, Oh, no! I can't do a thing with this!

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.

When you respect somebody who has talent, whether it's a designer or a photographer, then you don't want to let yourself down - but you also really don't want to let them down.

I'm very lucky that I've worked mainly with two amazing photographers in David Sims and Steven Meisel.

I celebrate every culture. I love the mix of cultures and I'm never going to change that because that's inspiring to me.
