There are two types of people in the world: people who are passionate about things, and people who've had their passion punched, beaten, or whatever out of them.

Beauty has a lot to do with character.

I'd rather have huge success and huge failures than travel in the middle of the road.

Today I see beauty everywhere I go, in every face I see, in every single soul.

Perfection is boring. If a face doesn't have mistakes, it's nothing.

I'm going to insult a whole industry here, but it seems like TV is for people who can't do film. I'm not talking about actresses; I'm talking about lighting people. Lighting on TV is just so... it's sinful, it really is.

Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness, I was never going to be forgiven.

I'm very passionate about what I do.

There are two types of people in the world: people who are passionate about things, and people who've had their passion punched, beaten, or whatever out of them.

I also have this incredible love for women.

When I was growing up, the men in my life were abusive; women were the ones I ran to for comfort.

I spent much of my life hiding.

Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.

Life is too short to spend hoping that the perfectly arched eyebrow or hottest new lip shade will mask an ugly heart.

That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.

Yes, but everyone is beautiful to someone.

I think the responsibility lies with the fashion world as a collective. We have to demand more variety.

Another thing that's pathetic is this rule that you have to look ugly to get respect as an actress. Jessica Lange had to make herself look really bad to prove that she had amazing talent.

The faces I see in the modeling industry can get dull.

Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.

Fear is the most debilitating emotion in the world, and it can keep you from ever truly knowing yourself and others - its adverse effects can no longer be overlooked or underestimated. Fear breeds hatred, and hatred has the power to destroy everything in its path.

Fights with my father were really quite brutal. I would not live his vision. I would not become who he wanted me to be. Everything I did was criticized. I would spend three months drawing something and show him, and he would look up from his paper and just look back down. I got no approval from him for anything I did that was creative.

I don't use 'always do this,' 'never say that' and I never give advice because I'm not the end-all, be-all authority.

I was absolutely lost in love and life when I did my drawings. Time stood still.

It's our hearts and brains that we should exercise more often. You can put on all the makeup you want, but it won't make your soul pretty.

While traveling around the world, I've had the opportunity to work with every living beauty icon. I've learned to appreciate idiosyncrasy. The fact is, there is really no such thing as 'normal' - everybody's different, and that is the essence of their beauty.

I never went wrong by being myself.

Perfection is boring. If a face doesnt have mistakes its nothing.

There are no rules when it comes to makeup!

Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.

If you're doing something new you've got to have a vision. You've got to have a perspective. You've got to have some north star you're aiming for, and you just believe somehow you'll get there, which kind of gets to the passion point.

But my passion is racing cars. It's what I like to do in my off time.

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

It is, perhaps, better to be valued as an object of passion than never to be valued at all.

The greatest gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.

In the earliest days, this was a project I worked on with great passion because I wanted to solve the Defense Department's problem: it did not want proprietary networking and it didn't want to be confined to a single network technology.

No doubt Western civilization has in the past been full of wars and revolutions, and the national elements in our culture, even when they were ignored, always provided an unconscious driving force of passion and aggressive self-assertion.

A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.

In the First World War, there was the sudden passion of nationalism, and the killing took place because of these emotions. But the Soviet case is different, because you had systematic murder, like the Holocaust.

Anger is a momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you.

Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.

You need the words, you need the script, you need the material, you need the commitment, you need the passion, it's like we depend on writers, we depend on producers, directors depend on us and once things are in the divine order as they happen.

Americans admire a people who can scratch a desert and produce a garden. The Israelis have shown qualities that Americans identify with: guts, patriotism, idealism, a passion for freedom. I have seen it. I know. I believe that.

Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.

I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.

I would love to do more music, definitely. That is my true passion. Dance is first and then music.

If history and science have taught us anything, it is that passion and desire are not the same as truth.

If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
