Like most guys, I don't come to beauty regimes naturally. I'm dragged kicking and screaming by the best in the world.

I try to figure out - intellectually, philosophically, psychologically - what the experience of beauty is.

There is a role and function for beauty in our time.

I think the idea of the social construction of beauty - this idea that beauty is simply whatever culture or society says it is - is on the run. Of course, beauty does arise in a cultural context. No one ever denies that. But there's also a natural response people have to it.

Beauty, to me is about being comfortable in your own skin.

Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.

Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.

I think we have become obsessed with beauty and personally I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.
