Nobody was my support. You have to support yourself, and I think that is the beauty of being a woman. You can handle anything and be ten times better than men.

I saw 'Beauty and the Beast' at eight years old in theatres and spent hours trying to recreate the majestic imagery of that story in a drawing notepad at home.
— Justin Simien
I used to hear people say nobody can prepare you for fame, and it's actually very true. But there is such beauty that comes with it when you're able to use your platform in a positive way.
— Jussie Smollett
I like to have Chinese furniture in my home as a constant and painful reminder of how much has been destroyed in China. The contrast between the beauty of the past and the ugliness of the modern is nowhere sharper than in China.
— Jung Chang
That is the beauty of doing something when you're older. It doesn't matter what anyone else says because you're not doing it to build credibility.
— Julie Wainwright
Beauty is what I feel my life is about - the garden, the house, whatever. I see the world that way, yet it isn't.
— Julie Newmar
Surely being a Professional Beauty - let alone an ageing one - is one of the most insecure and doomed careers imaginable.
— Julie Burchill
What I find most upsetting about this new all-consuming beauty culture is that the obsession with good looks, and how you can supposedly attain them, is almost entirely female-driven.
Every modern woman shops everywhere for beauty, but for me it's mostly the airport or the drugstore.
— Julianne Moore
During the 80s and 90s, we all became consumed with ourselves. In the 21st century, we've come back to simpler times. People are struggling economically and this has forced them to scale back the material aspects of their lives and realise the beauty of finding the simple joy in being with the people we love.
— Julia Roberts
Fashion hasn't changed enough yet. There's too much a stereotype of beauty.
— Julia Restoin Roitfeld
The beauty of being co-founders with your spouse is that we run our business and family together.
— Julia Hartz
I'm only wanted by directors for the image I give off, and it makes me angry. I always wanted to be an actor and not a beauty pageant winner.
— Jude Law
Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
— Joyce Meyer
Especially as a title-holder, you can do great things with charities, because people suddenly care about what you have to say. I wanted to make a difference, which is why I created the Queen of the Universe pageant. I want to change all of those stigmas in the beauty pageant world.
— Joyce Giraud
In general, in my life, one of the coolest things that I've been able to do is to go to different places and meet different people and see how they view the world and to learn what their music is and what their language is, and the food they eat and everything. That idea of the beauty of the vastness of the world has just been my life.
I think beauty shows exteriorly what you are feeling inside; so if you are not in a great mood, it shows on your face a lot.
— Kalki Koechlin
I've never liked spending a lot of time on beauty stuff. I have two eye pencils that I use, and that's it.
— Justine Bateman
My theory of characterization is basically this: Put some dirt on a hero, and put some sunshine on the villain, one brush stroke of beauty on the villain.
— Justin Cronin
We Orientals find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and darkness which that thing provides.
— Junichiro Tanizaki
There are two ways to worry words. One is hoping for the greatest possible beauty in what is created. The other is to tell the truth.
— June Jordan
If you write a good line, you write a good line, and the best line wins in television. It doesn't matter if you're the guy who gets the coffee or if you're the showrunner - best line wins. That's the beauty of television collaboration.
— Julie Plec
These women whose antics we smirk at good-naturedly in the pap-traps put themselves out there at least partly on their beauty; they are in showbiz, and showing what they've got is part of their business as much as it is for male show-ponies from the Chippendales to George Clooney.
What sort of sap doesn't know by now that picture-perfect beauty is all done with smoke and mirrors anyway?
The truth of the matter is, beauty is a specific thing, rare and fleeting. Some of us have it in our teens, 20s and 30s and then lose it; most of us have it not at all. And that's perfectly okay. But lying to yourself that you have it when you don't seems to me simple-minded at best and psychotic at worst.
I'm now more about romantic beauty. The dominatrix thing is over. You never look as good in person as you do in 'Maxim,' but it's fun. It's all like a fantasy.
— Julianna Guill
I recently signed on with Lancome, and I guess it's any girl's modeling dream come true. Especially being in a beauty ad, more so because I'm French. There are so many girls out there, and I'm just so flattered they picked me. The Tom Ford fragrance ad was the first thing I did. Black Orchid is my winter scent and of course it has a nostalgic feel.
When I was first pregnant, I Googled a maternity website, and there was nothing that spoke to a girl with my lifestyle who had kids - everything was very boring and very pinky. I wanted to create a platform for all those amazing, beautiful, sexy, hands-on mummies and for them to share their lifestyles, their beauty tips.
You can't get away from fashion. The whole beauty thing is everywhere. It's just really weird.
— Juergen Teller
I want to take everything I have in me, weave it, merge it with the beauty that is in the Library of Congress, all the resources, the guidance of the staff and departments, and launch it with the heart-shaped dreams of the people.
— Juan Felipe Herrera
I always believe that if you feel good and look happy, you're always going to be beautiful. My one actual beauty trick is pretty cliche: Never, ever go to bed with your makeup on.
I don't see the desert as barren at all; I see it as full and ripe. It doesn't need to be flattered with rain. It certainly needs rain, but it does with what it has, and creates amazing beauty.
— Joy Harjo
The idea of the beauty of diversity came from just growing up where I grew up. Los Angeles is a very big city - there's Little Ethiopia, Little Armenia, Little Tokyo, Chinatown, there's African-Americans, Latinos, Europeans.
My mom is very much about 'less is more.' She showed me how to use makeup to enhance your beauty but not to change your face, which I think is important.
— Kaia Gerber
The beauty of letting marginalized people tell their own stories is it isn't only the right thing to do socially, but it's also the right thing to do financially. People love the truth, and people like to spend money on the truth.
— Justin Tranter
As I read 'The Infinities', with its magical, playful richness, its sensuous delight in the power of language to convey the strangeness and beauty of being human, I wondered if J. M. Coetzee, with his bleak, pared-down, elemental view of the world, had ever read a Banville and, if he had, whether he had envied him his astonishing powers.
— Justin Cartwright
Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.
When you really put your heart in the work, you don't think of how you look. And I think that's the beauty of it.
— Juliette Binoche
Ecstasy and beauty are eternal.
I've always thought of beauty therapy, 'alternative' treatments and the like as the female equivalent of brothels - for essentially self-deceiving people who feel a bit hollow and have to pay to be touched.
Shame, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.
I think it's sad that there seems to be one definition of beauty in Hollywood/New York. It's such a cliche, but I think it's true that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
— Julianne Nicholson
I don't see any particular sweet spot. But I do see sweet stocks that I really love and like and think are going to do well. And one is a company that probably makes that beautiful toenail polish you've got on. A company called Ulta. And it has just beautiful beauty salons all over the country.
— Julian Robertson
For me, beauty is more about prevention than anything. Especially now that I've hit 30, it's more about being careful and maintaining my skin. I want to keep my youth and freshness and be wrinkle-free as long as possible because I don't want to have to cheat - that's what I call any cosmetic surgeries: cheating.
I longed to arrest all beauty that came before me, and at length the longing has been satisfied.
— Julia Margaret Cameron
People come to see beauty, and I dance to give it to them.
— Judith Jamison
The beauty of an art project is that you cannot always measure the impact, but one day it can become clear.

I do an international beauty pageant called Queen of the Universe for UNESCO, and what we do is we build kindergartens around the world.
