“I'm not an easily depressed person.” — Francois Nars

It's not that I'm easily shocked. It takes a lot to shock me. And wildness I like. But vulgarity shocks me.

There was a time when you would dream about, say, movie stars. Now, you virtually follow them into their bathroom when they're going to the loo.

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.
