You are born with this love; fashion and beauty are a part of who I am.
From Francois Nars
I would find myself in these photo shoots with models and makeup, and I got swept up in it all.
In America, when I first came here, they were used to wearing more make-up - thicker foundation, more Max Factor, that sort of thing. But you have to know who you are and what you look like: if you know yourself a little bit, you don't need to follow trends.
It really has stayed practically the same. It wasn't like I used to do wild punk make-up: no, I always had the same vision.
My mother never wore much make-up, and she was a kind of natural beauty; she knew just how to enhance what she had.
My mother hated foundation; she hated having a mask on her face - and she pushed me to build my own vision and concept of beauty for women.
I'm not an easily depressed person.
There was a time when you would dream about, say, movie stars. Now, you virtually follow them into their bathroom when they're going to the loo.
It's not that I'm easily shocked. It takes a lot to shock me. And wildness I like. But vulgarity shocks me.
I never thought make-up was like brain surgery.
