I always believe that to be the best you have to smell like the best dress like the best act like the best. When you throw your trash in the garbage can it has to be better than anybody else who ever threw trash in the garbage can.

The beauty of jazz is that it's malleable. People are addressing it to suit their own personalities.

I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair.

The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.

Beauty is about perception not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up or dress yourself or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.

The plainer the dress the greater luster does beauty appear.

In terms of work I've always had a Bad Attitude in that I won't work anywhere which requires me to work strict hours or follow a dress code. I don't know if that's an Asperger's thing or not I think it's just being reasonable.

Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.

For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color perm without setting which had never been done before.

When art dresses in worn-out material it is most easily recognized as art.

I love a lot of things and I'm pretty much obsessive about most things I do whether it be gardening or architecture or music. I'd be an obsessive hairdresser.

But those musics do not address the larger kind of architecture in time that classical music does whatever each one of us knows that classical music must mean.

In addressing a task one almost always has several possible options sometimes only a few and they may all be practical and functional. But they lack the aesthetic aspect that raises it to architecture.

A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.

Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans' anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts his presidency and worse our economy will be paralyzed.

Voice-acting on the fun meter is off the scale. You show up you don't have to be all primped up or dressed up. And you get to work with some amazing people and goof off for four hours.

But it was great we sit in the same dressing room where like Johnny Cash sat and Willie Nelson and all those guys. That was in itself something amazing - I was on the same space these guys stood on ya know?

Big dress cocktails party - I love that. It is my work but my work allow me to have glamour to wear beautiful and amazing dresses to go to big ceremonies.

I've worn dresses from all different price ranges and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.

I love getting dressed up. Being a pop star is the most brilliant job for that. A lot of girls love shopping but they might see the most amazing outfit and think 'When am I going to wear that?' so it's my duty to exploit the fact I do have events I can wear these things to.

I'm tired of being around men all the time. I'm going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I'll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York saw a lot of amazing dresses.

Growing up in New York has influenced my style so much and I have an amazing relationship with my stylist Estee Stanley. We have so much fun with the whole process. She picks out dresses I try things on and play dress up and we get creative to see what works.

I love a beautiful gown on stage and luckily I've been fortunate to wear some amazing dresses.

Gwen Stefani has amazing style. I used to really love Courtney Love and anything she wore I loved. Or Chloe Sevigny because I really love that sort of classic look and I like being girly and flowery and wearing little D&G dresses. I wear hats a lot too. I think it goes back to when I was a bit grungy and was a skater girl for a bit.
