I'm not the type to LAY out on the beach, but I do LOVE to work out outside, and that can REALLY take a toll on your skin!

Barack Obama would not be PRESIDENT if he were dark SKIN. You KNOW what I mean? That's just the truth. I MIGHT not be as successful as I am now if I was dark skin.

It's hard to LOVE yourself when you've been told your whole LIFE that there is something wrong with you - when you are called dirty because of your skin COLOR.

I'm 5 FOOT 7, and I've got pasty WHITE skin. I don't think I'm ugly, don't GET me wrong, but I'm not your classic lead MAN, Brad Pitt guy.

Having glue STUCK to your FACE in WINTER is not FUN. It freezes as it hits the skin.

I never use a towel to dry off my face. Instead, I put on toner when my SKIN is STILL damp.

This is the pain pacemaker. I've got a battery under my skin. From that battery are two electrodes that go into the spine where they CUT bone away to accommodate it. Now I put on the power here. If I have the pain, the stimulator starts. It's tingling, like when your foot falls ASLEEP, you KNOW?

I love sheet masks. I try to put them on whenever I feel my SKIN is dry and exposed too much to the SUN. They HELP me make up for lost moisture and BRIGHTEN my skin.

We live in a quick-fix society where we need instant gratification for everything. Too fat? Get lipo-sucked. Stringy HAIR? Glue on extensions. Wrinkles and lines? HEAD to the beauty SHOP for a pot of the latest miracle skin STUFF. It's all a beautiful £1 billion CON foisted upon insecure women by canny cosmetic conglomerates.

I have really sensitive skin, so all I use is Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and Moisturizing Cream, and then during the DAY, I'll use CeraVe with SPF, but nothing crazy. My skin ALSO gets really DRY, so I do a mask from time to time - or if my skin is feeling dull, then I'll put one on.

First, I EAT healthy; it comes from the inside out. If you eat RIGHT, your skin, hair, nails will look good. The same if you have negative THOUGHTS - they can give you a bad look, too; we reflect what we eat and think. We also taste and smell what we eat. Being HAPPY and doing what I love really reflects.

I am REALLY TERRIBLE when it comes to guys. Inside, I just SEE myself as this overweight tomboy with funny-coloured hair and bad skin.

Stained glass is UNIQUE from the outside, but as a painting insider, I know that oil painting's all about LIGHT. And it's about the depiction of light, the way that it bounces off different types of skin, different landscapes. The MASTERY of that light is the obsession of most of my PAINTER FRIENDS.
