"My method of helping someone is saying, 'Wow, you look amazing. Let me help you look even better.' I think tearing someone down is an awful thing to do. It has a lasting impression on people."

"I hoped I could make people smile and laugh and have a good time."

"I think ultimately I make people happy: Whether I'm doing the stage show, giving somebody a makeover, or designing clothing, the end goal is to make people smile."

"It's really important to share the idea that being different might feel like a problem at the time, but ultimately diversity is a strength."
