I think the responsibility lies with the fashion world as a collective. We have to demand more variety.

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

There is no beauty unaided, no excellence that does not sink to the barbarous, unless saved by art.

Does anybody in this room really believe that [I win]? Give me a break.

Democracy is self-creating coherence.
