My theory of characterization is basically this: Put some dirt on a hero, and put some sunshine on the villain, one brush stroke of beauty on the villain.

I think the beauty looks I most regret are those I was persuaded into.

Physical beauty isn't so impressive to me.

I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair.

My beauty icons are women whose images are self-created.
