Doing Makeup Was A Way To Create

For Me, Its Like Go Ahead And Eat. Live Your Life. I Mean, I've Just Seen So Much Death, You Know, As Of Late, Being In My 40s, Of People Getting Sick Or, You Know, Whatever, That I Just Feel Like, You Know What? You Never Know With Life. Eat. Enjoy Yourself. Just Try To Be Healthy And, You Know, And Watch It.

I Used To Watch My Grandmother Make Fancy, Julia Child-style Beef Bourguignon. And Growing Up In New York City, I Was Exposed To Many Cultures. I Experimented With Puerto Rican And Jamaican Food.

I'd Love To Give My Girls A Traditional Thanksgiving With Turkey And All That Jazz, But We've Raised Them To Love Tuscan Food So Much That They Don't Care For It. My Favorite Is A Nice Polenta With Beef Stew And Broccoli Rabe On The Side.

I Don't Like The Idea Of Things Being Off-limits To Kids - Like A Fancy Sitting Room Where They Can't Touch Anything. I Own Vintage Pottery Cups, And I Let My Girls Hold Them. It Teaches Them To Treat Objects With Respect.

I Started Doing Makeup To Make A Living. Then I Said, You're Not Supposed To Be Putting Powder On Other People. You're Supposed To Be Powdering Yourself.
