For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before.

So I was shampooing at 14. But I've always thought that had I the opportunity for an education, I would have been an architect. There's no question about it.

The essence is, what can we do next? And will it be good?

When I was about 10 I ran away to see my father. He couldn't have cared less. He just took me back as soon as he could.

You never argued with my mother. You couldn't win.

Hairdressers are a wonderful breed. You work one-on-one with another human being and the object is to make them feel so much better and to look at themselves with a twinkle in their eye.

From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism.
