Now Is The Time To Become A

I Really Have Fun Making Up. I Have A Good Face For Making Up, Good Bones. I Do The Shapings, Then The Eyes. Then I Put On Mascara And I Do Something Else. Then I Put On Mascara Again And Do Something Else. Then I Put On More Mascara And My Whole Face Is Completely Made Up.

I Am Not Allowed To Be Afraid. My Mother Made Me Like That. As A Child, If I Was Afraid Of The Dark, She Would Lock Me In The Closet. Things Like This. And She Would Talk About The Time She Spent In The Concentration Camp, But Not About Being Afraid, Only About The Good Side Of It.

You Don’t Seduce In The Same Way At My Age. You Seduce With Brains, With Talent. Yesterday For Lunch I Met The Most Incredible 90-year-old Woman. She Survived Auschwitz, She Was Beautiful, She Didn’t Have White Hair, She Didn’t Wear Glasses. She Was Totally Seductive. I Just Thought, Oh, My God, I Still Have Time Ahead Of Me.

The Other Day I Went To A School In Harlem To Talk To Some 7th Graders [12-year-olds] And I Said, ‘if I Have To Give You Some Advice, The Most Important Thing Is: The Sooner You Become Your Own Best Friend, The Better Your Life Will Be,’ 

No One Should Notice How Your Eyes Are Done Or The Color Of Your Eyeshadow. They Should Just Notice You And Notice That You're Beautiful, That You Have Beautiful Eyes.
