That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.

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

I think the responsibility lies with the fashion world as a collective. We have to demand more variety.

Fear is the most debilitating emotion in the world, and it can keep you from ever truly knowing yourself and others - its adverse effects can no longer be overlooked or underestimated. Fear breeds hatred, and hatred has the power to destroy everything in its path.

Today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

There are two types of people in the world: people who are passionate about things, and people who've had their passion punched, beaten, or whatever out of them.

Today I see beauty everywhere I go, in every face I see, in every single soul, and sometimes even in myself.
