I would have rebelled against parental authority, no matter what. When I was 15, I started painting my face and making my own clothes.

I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it's up to them to find that quality and let it live.

We're not perfect; we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.

I go feminine, I go masculine. I am both, actually. I think the male side is a bit stronger in me, and I have to tone it down sometimes. I'm not like a normal woman, that's for sure.

I thought I'd take style to its limit... My philosophy is a belief in magic, good luck , self-confidence, and pride.

Whatever one is creating, one has to stick to one's guns and just do it. That is all. Put your foot down and do not let your work be compromised.

Art and science have so much in common - the process of trial and error, finding something new and innovative, and to experiment and succeed in a breakthrough.

My mama told me in college, 'I love you, and you're God's child, but natural beauty will only take you so far.'

The only thing in this world that gives orders is balls.

Our prayers are the shadows of mercy.

No man is a hero in his own country.

I mean *sigh* Sickening eyes I can tell that you're in touch with your feminine side
