Fashion is emotional, and the way women look at it is emotional, so it's very important to try to connect with a woman's idea of how she might feel.

To be a good hairdresser, you have to understand what the vision is of the designer or the photographer and then sort of add your thing.

It's hard to be shocking now. It's hard to challenge people because the Internet has allowed everyone to become much more worldly, much more visual. It's very hard to surprise people.

I'm not giving up on my work. I'm still trying to challenge people's aesthetics and myself.

I've spent half my life on planes.

We are all capable of greatness when we know without any doubt that we are directly connected to a higher purpose.

we dance even if there's no radio. we drink at funerals. we talk too much & laugh too loud & live too large, and, frankly, we're suspicious of others who don't.

That's not a rat, that's my ferret.

I have been bullied for sure in my life. I am only 5'2", was chubby most of my life so I did get teased for that and also for being in movies.

An audience can be like a pack of wolves.

But there is one thing most companies struggle to standardize, and ironically, it's the most important part of our efforts to gain and sustain results. It is leadership.
