Confidence is the important thing with beauty,… it’s about what makes you feel good about yourself. I like having makeup on; I like the discipline it requires…you can’t touch your face with your hands as often, which is good, because you won’t get sick as often. It’s like wearing high heels: there’s a ladylike discipline involved with wearing high heels or a corset…or pencil skirts. Suddenly you have to change the way you are in the world…
