| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | I’ve learned there’s nothing wrong with being a little fussy. I used to pride myself on being low-maintenance – I wore it like a badge of honor. |
| 2 | Glamour is fun! Spending time to get ready isn’t about being fussy; it’s about taking care of myself. |
| 3 | I’m blessed that I can leave it to the pros at work and red-carpet events, because I can’t say I’m adept. Still, I’m definitely not afraid to take chances when it comes to beauty. |
| 4 | When I think of the most beautiful women, they’re not supermodels. |
