When you respect somebody who has talent, whether it's a designer or a photographer, then you don't want to let yourself down - but you also really don't want to let them down.

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'm not saying that everything I do is always tasteful - and maybe it's not always the normal idea of beauty - but hopefully it's always an empowering idea.

Beauty shouldn't be taken too seriously. Life is stressful enough! Hair should be creative and crazy.

I try to be aware of technology and Japanese animation and old Belgian paintings, and get all my references from bits of everywhere.

I didn't know I wanted to be a hairdresser. I was always interested in fashion and imagery in a very naive way, but it was always an attraction, like glitter balls.

When I think of the people I've worked with, all of them have great passion, and the passion is what keeps people inspired.

Beautiful things are different.

With Steven Meisel, I'd looked at his work from afar and always loved it, and when I started to work with him, I was blown away. He taught me so much about looking at women and looking at images.

There is no bigger weapon than brain, yet the time is more powerful in the World.

My job starts at a quarter to seven in the morning, and you go right through until whatever time is necessary to finish up.

If I told you all the people that have secretly told me I've influenced them, you'd never believe it, and you'll never see it in print, either.

In time they could not even fly after their hats. Want of practice, they called it; but what it really meant was that they no longer believed.

What happens to one directly happens to all indirectly.

Believe in the immortality and everlasting effects of your goodness.

No matter what happens, the world can be pretty ridiculous and people be pretty ridiculous, but how would you react? That's an easy filter to put any story through.

Our beliefs act as lenses. These lenses can help us see things we can't otherwise see, but they can also block us from seeing parts of reality.

I don't have an attitude! And it CERTAINLY... doesn't need to be adjusted!
