I use a little brush only for really small details. Over the years, I've started to use a much larger brush.

I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.

People ask me why I don't paint oils. It takes too long. Cleaning brushes in linseed oil, and it takes six months to really dry, and all this. I don't have that kind of time. I work with acrylic. It's water based. You can clean it under water. If you spill it on yourself, you just throw it in the washing machine.

The biggest challenge of being a pastry chef is that, unlike other types of chefs, you can't throw things together at a farmer's market. When you're working with baking powder and a formula, you have to be exact. If not, things can go wrong.

I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the 'Mona Lisa' with a two-inch brush.

Grooming is 10 times more important than makeup. I use a hair gloss with a teeny bit of color in it that makes my hair very shiny.

I have improved the way in which I paint. The colours are cleaner and there is more energy in the brush work.

Every makeup artist or stylist with whom I work has many special ideas, tips, and creations. I can always learn so much from them.

Real painters understand with a brush in their hand.

We lived in my father's studio, so there were the brushes and the pencils and the paint. So it would - it was very natural for me to want to paint, I think, and it was never a question.
