Judaism is important to me from a tribal point of view.

My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous.

I was born in 1928 and by 1931 the Depression was beginning to mount.

My mother left me for seven years in an orphanage.

I just consider being one of the luckiest people in the sense that creativity came to me and it flowed.

I was a bit of a rebel.

To me hair dressing means shape. It's very important that the foundations should be right.
