I think to many people, textured curls still signify 'difference.' And kids like to pick on what's different.

Someone might say that's a naïve way of looking at things now, and I would respect their opinion, but I also respect every woman's right to wearing her own individual style, including hair.

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 didn't do great in school. I didn't have many options. I mean, I'd like to have gone to art college, but I didn't have the grades. I didn't have any qualifications. But I had some friends who were hairdressers, so I just thought, Well, I'll have a go at it.

I try to be aware of technology and Japanese animation and old Belgian paintings, and get all my references from bits of everywhere.

I haven't got a good reputation with pain.

When I think of the people I've worked with, all of them have great passion, and the passion is what keeps people inspired.
