When I was a very small child I went to a new play group. The first thing I did was run over to a little tot with incredibly chubby cheeks and sink my teeth right into them.

Makeup is my world, and I know that a little things . . . the right technique, colour or brush . . . can make all the difference.

I believe in magical things happening and spiritual goings on. Sometimes the most mundane things can surprise you and be magical.

If it makes you feel beautiful...do it!

I stopped my iTunes festival set because someone fainted at the front. It felt like the right thing to do at the time but maybe I was being too sensitive.

I love writing things down so pretty much every card I send to friends or family is an over enthusiastic essay. I've written some pretty good ones in my time.

We may well lie with what seems to be a woman of flesh and blood, and yet all the time it is only a devil in the shape of a woman.

For truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine.

I paint and I sculpt and I enjoy doing things that aren't for the public. There's no pressure to it, it's just something that's a cleansing of the mind.

I will always have two regrets. I don't have a presence in London, and I would have liked to have done more work in the Middle East.
