I'd rather have huge success and huge failures than travel in the middle of the road.

I'm very passionate about what I do.

I never went wrong by being myself.

Beauty has a lot to do with character.

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself.

I made a crash landing here on Earth on February 14, 1962, in the Shreveport Catholic Charities Home for un-wed mothers. The infamous Bonnie and Clyde lost their lives just miles from where I was born. Like outlaws ourselves, my birth mother and I were on the run from the day she found out I was part of her.

For me, beauty is synonymous with uniqueness . . . perfection is mundane, boring, and emotionless. It is by celebrating the differences in others that we can begin to accept our own individuality.
