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.

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.

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.

Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.

Everyone is beautiful to someone.

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