I understood early that beauty was power.

No amount of makeup can mask an ugly heart.

That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.

The fact is, there really is no such thing as 'normal' - everybody's different, and that is the essence of their beauty

Today I see beauty everywhere I go, in every face I see, in every single soul, and sometimes even in myself.

Perfection is boring. If a face doesn't have mistakes, it's nothing.

Glamour is not self-conscious; it’s not trying really hard. It’s just expressing your own truth. I think that’s what the essence of glamour really is—expressing your uniqueness.

Beauty might bring happiness, but happiness always brings beauty.

For me, beauty is synonymous with uniqueness . . . perfection is mundane, boring, and emotionless. It is by celebrating the differences in others that we can begin to accept our own individuality.

Life is too short to spend hoping that the perfectly arched eyebrow or hottest new lip shade will mask an ugly heart.

It's our hearts and brains that we should exercise more often. You can put on all the makeup you want, but it won't make your soul pretty.

Sometimes it takes a lowly, title-less man to humble the world. Kings, rulers, CEOs, judges, doctors, pastors, they are already expected to be greater and wiser.

I give this freely

I was born in the house my father built.

A man's admiration of absolute government is proportionate to the contempt he feels for those around him.

The plate tectonics of media have shifted where NBC had to become a new media company from an old media company.

I don't repeat that many styles if I can help, although some have become classics. I try not to repeat. I'd rather surprise people.

Frenzy, Heresie, and Jealovsie, seldome cured.

These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion.

There are not more than five primary colours, yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen.

Writing is writing, and stories are stories. Perhaps the only true genres are fiction and nonfiction. And even there, who can be sure?
