"If you just do something, then you're a five-year wonder and, goodbye, you're gone. But if people feel it's worthwhile, not only do they copy but they want to learn how to do it To me, that's what it's all about. If someone were to ask me, 'What's the number one thing, in essence, that you left behind?' It was the teaching of others so that they could take my work and take it further."
"My mother had a premonition and she felt that hairdressing would be very very good for me."
"From my point of view, there is a tremendous amount to be said for secular humanism."
"Beauty is.. The passionate and positive expression of the complete self."
