I'm not giving up on my work. I'm still trying to challenge people's aesthetics and myself.

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 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 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.

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.

Your dreams are worth it. Persevere. Your focus is your power. Harness it.

Maybe love, unfathomable love, was too much for people, so they had traded it for something easier.

I think the best way to have confidence is not to allow everyone else's insecurities to be your own.

An expert is an ordinary fella away from home.

Our human nature is exactly the same as it was 500 years ago, let alone five years ago.

The fly that prefers sweetness to a long life may drown in honey.

I just love making music. I always stay in the studio. Making music is my main focus.

It is my conviction that the root of evil is the want of a living God.

Statistically there's only one crocodile-related human fatality per year in the whole of Australia.

Good day, fair maidens.
