Daniel Handler Quotes

I've never really known what glamour is.

It's a great feeling to be wanted, but it's more exciting to be inaccessible.

Glamour invites us to live in a different world. It has to simultaneously be mysterious, a little bit distant - that's why, often in these glamour shots, the person is not looking at the audience, it's why sunglasses are glamorous - but also not so far above us that we can't identify with the person.

Glamour is beyond beauty and beyond age. It's like sex appeal. You either have it or you don't, but I don't think it's the end of the world if you don't have it!

The world is always curious, and people become valuable merely for their inaccessibility

Glamour is an attitude-it's the expression of a certain kind of confidence. A glamorous woman is always elegant, but she also possesses an air of mystery and excitement. She's dramatic-almost untouchable.

I think that glamour is about confidence and really owning the look.

I think glamour is synonymous with me.

Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins.

I think it's important to have mystique.

What I do is create an aura of mystery.

Glamour is a beautiful illusion - the word 'glamour' originally meant a literal magic spell - that promises to transcend ordinary life and make the ideal real. It depends on a special combination of mystery and grace. Too much information breaks the spell.

It doesn't mean that I won't be sexy or hip or anything like that.

To me, 'rock star' conjures up something like a mystic: someone who sees himself as above other people, someone who has the key to the secret that people want to know.

If a woman is bed-heady and it doesn't look put on, it's pretty sexy. But when a woman is wearing a really smart dress with great heels and her hair is pulled back, that's terribly sexy too - like an Audrey Hepburn kind of thing.

There's no such thing as an aura of mystery anymore. It doesn't exist. That's a thing of the past.

I can make a scene that's not supposed to be sexy, very sexy. It's a power you're born with. It's not a physical thing, it comes from inside. It's all in the eyes.

I've always had an air of mystery.

Sexy is kind of like an aura around someone.

An elusive, enigmatic aura will make people want to know more, drawing them into your circle. Create such a power by hinting at something contradictory within you.

There's an attention paid to the fame - the sort of sheath that's on you, this sort of cloud that's covering over you - and that's what people want to touch. It's not even really you that they want to touch.

I think most big stars do have just a certain amount of mystery; you don't know everything.

I want to look feminine, powerful, sexy and bold.

You can pick out the scariest dude on the tour and, guaranteed, he's probably a smush - I just find that so incredibly attractive.

Sexiness today is not about having a perfect body and wearing a tight mini skirt; it's about what you don't show that's truly sexy.
