QUOTABLES:

“But now I'm realizing that everybody's journey is completely unique. Like, it's really no blueprint to success as a makeup artist or photographer”

“I just felt like people needed to get out and talk to people. People really have a hard time with, like, in-person interaction. They just want to hide behind the little iPhones and Androids. Yeah, you gotta get out and you got to talk to people.” “

You're not going to be everybody's cup of tea.”
