beauty forgiveness i-realized
Soon I realized that if beauty equalled forgiveness, I was never going to be forgiven.
mom growing-up streisand
Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.
giving advice use
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.
perseverance taken men
My entire mission in life is to help women take over the world. Not by force (the route so many men have taken since the beginning of time), but with compassion, perseverance, and love.
being-myself
I never went wrong by being myself.
growing-up men comfort
When I was growing up, the men in my life were abusive; women were the ones I ran to for comfort.
talking people actresses
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.
dull faces modeling-industry
The faces I see in the modeling industry can get dull.
ugly actresses looks
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.
understood
I understood early that beauty was power.
beautiful philosophy past
This reference to the Scots side of her ancestry is the first of two visual explorations into Tori Amos's diverse cultural past. As is the case for many of us, Tori's ancestry is a mix of races and religions, philosophies and professions, fortunes and foibles. What to some may seem like a family tree grown wild and untamed is actually a mighty oak that has weathered life's many storms and can still put out a rare and beautiful blossom like Tori.
fun ideas creative
If you want to look your best, be creative, try some new ideas, and have fun doing it.
light quality energy
Audrey had an angelic quality about her. She didn't act like she was better than everyone, she just had a presence, an energy, a sort of light coming from within her that was overwhelming.
fashion lying responsibility
I think the responsibility lies with the fashion world as a collective. We have to demand more variety.
