Some days are just bad days, that's all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that's just the way it is!

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.

People who follow all the rules and chase every trend tend to get forgotten - they look great, but they're not as memorable.

Physical beauty isn't so impressive to me.

Well, when I was fifteen years old I worked in a lingerie store and that's how I feel in love with vintage lingerie because I wanted to know the history of it.

I suppose women are attracted to the bad-boy image sometimes because it's fun to have an adventure. It's like eating junk food... it's fun at the time, but ultimately not the best choice.

Me personally, I want to entertain people above all. When you look back at burlesque in history and the real golden age of burlesque, those entertainers were there to entertain, and there wasn't usually some big political message behind what they were doing.

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

When I was a little girl, I watched all old movies. My mother liked old movies, and she loved shopping for antiques, so I was around old things all the time.
