Personally I kept my feelings out of it and created a fantasy. That's the process of going through this world being beautiful.

Beauty is on one level pure surface, and on the other hand, it's the most complex subject that we can touch upon because it says everything about us as people. It's a subject we very quickly begin to argue about. I think that's so interesting.
