When I was growing up, the men in my life were abusive; women were the ones I ran to for comfort.

No amount of makeup can mask an ugly heart.

It is the free spirited men and women that we most admire and often envy - those individuals who dare to be themselves.

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.

Audrey had an angelic quality about her. She didn't act like she was better than everyone, she just had a presence, an energy, a sort of light coming from within her that was overwhelming.

Another thing that's pathetic is this rule that you have to look ugly to get respect as an actress. Jessica Lange had to make herself look really bad to prove that she had amazing talent.

Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness, I was never going to be forgiven.
