My mother never wore much make-up, and she was a kind of natural beauty; she knew just how to enhance what she had.

It really has stayed practically the same. It wasn't like I used to do wild punk make-up: no, I always had the same vision.

I would find myself in these photo shoots with models and makeup, and I got swept up in it all.
