I came home after a year and although my profession was only hairdressing, I knew I could change it.

To sculpt a head of hair with scissors is an art form. It's in pursuit of art.

It's hard to give advice. There are so many people, how do you give major advice to a group of people, it's very presumptuous.

I think that as good architecture enhances a city, a good cut enhances the definition and expression of a face.

If you just do something, then you're a five-year wonder and, goodbye, you're gone. But if people feel it's worthwhile, not only do they copy but they want to learn how to do it To me, that's what it's all about. If someone were to ask me, 'What's the number one thing, in essence, that you left behind?' It was the teaching of others so that they could take my work and take it further.

There were so many pretty girls coming into the salon as clients, and others working in the salon. And I thought, 'Hmm. This is rather nice.'

It's okay saying sorry, but when you are drunk you say what you really feel.
