Hair excited me. As the old ways - backcombing, rollers and rigidity - went out of the window, I started to feel the possibilities in front of my eyes.

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

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.

Capri on the Amalfi Coast in Italy is my ultimate holiday destination.

My mother had a premonition and she felt that hairdressing would be very very good for me.

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

Beauty is.. The passionate and positive expression of the complete self.

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

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

If you look good, we look good.

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

A single death is a tragedy

To belong nowhere is a blessing and a curse, like any kind of freedom.

But are there really good people? Good people, through and through? Or are we all just varying versions of bad people, some trying harder to be good?

Combine the extremes, and you will have the true center.

There may be writing groups where people meet but it's occasional. You really do it all at your own computer or your own typewriter by yourself.

Never tell a lie when you can bullshit your way through it

Where there are no women there are no good manners

A catcher and his body are like the outlaw and his horse. He's got to ride that nag till it drops.

I am dying of hunger.

All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life.
