Of course I was wearing make-up, I never went anywhere without red lipstick for 25 years! It was a form of self-preservation for me to continue to wear lipstick even though my face was broken.

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.

My desire is to preserve the sense of people’s lives, to endow them with the strength and beauty I see in them. I want the people in my pictures to stare back.

One of the commitments that I personally have now is to a diverse approach to buying businesses, and the operation of those businesses.

The team with the best athletes doesn't usually win. It's the team with the athletes who play best together.

I got involved in the design process a long time ago. I've been working with their main designer [Berlei] for a while. It's been really fun all around.
