Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.

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.

As you come close to God in prayer, He brings purpose even from the brokenness of your life.

You can see clearly in a sacred dawn of light.

What you express in your character is what your lifestyle crowns

I can tell you character traits I admire and work to develop in myself - perseverance, self-discipline, courage to stand up for what is right even when it is against one's friends or one's self.

A high-brow is someone who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso.

I'm not really trying to break the bank like some other people. I just want what's fair.

The writers' strike a couple years ago was a bonanza for reality TV shows new and old.

There aren't many irritations to match the condescension which a woman metes out to a man who she believes has loved her vainly for the past umpteen years.

The real moment of success is not the moment apparent to the crowd.

I am not among those who fear the people. They, and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom.
