Julie Delpy Quotes

I'm a big woman. I need big hair.

Not everyone can look the same, so as long as you look the best that you can look and you feel good, that's all that matters.

I like to look nice, but I'm not marketing being beautiful.

The pressure is on the women to be particularly small, and then not only that, the whole package. It's extreme.

Embrace yourself and do what you can to look and feel your best. Don't put on so many fashion trends that create a ridiculous style statement. Pick and choose what feels good, and flatters your own body.

I do expose my body, but only because I think people should have something nice to look at.

I always hated the part when I had to look pretty. I love that I don't have to look pretty.

I get people being frightened of me. One time I did this photo shoot where I had hairy armpits - I was really digging it, but they were like, 'We'll airbrush that out.'

My beauty icons are women whose images are self-created.

If you want to do what you want to do, you have to look a certain way.

I like having my hair and face done, but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.

I aim to be pretty - I gave up dressing to be sexy in the eighties.

I simply did not want my face to be my talent.

How awful to be a perfect beauty! How confusing! God. Can you imagine?

I like when a girl knows what she looks like and dresses to accentuate those features.

I don't think it's ungracious to seek cosmetic help - it has crossed my mind from time to time, and I have been tempted. But it's too short-term. Once you start down that road, you have to keep going.

Women must know themselves better than anyone. If you have ugly legs, wear long dresses. If you have long, great legs, show them.

I don't want to have to be pretty. I don't want to have to be adorable.

Not to be vain, but I have nice long legs, so I like to accentuate them. Find what part of your body you love most - it can be your arms, your chest, your legs - and emphasize that.

I find the whole concept of being 'sexy' embarrassing and confusing. If I do a photo-shoot, people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there's the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that's not me.

Looking good is a commitment to yourself and to others. Wigs, killer heels, Pilates, even fillers - whatever works for you, honey.

My favourite feature is my hair. It has always made me look different. It was so red when I was born that my mother thought I had blood on my head. When I was a teenager, I looked like a tomboy, but then I understood that I could be a woman who was an intelligent mix between a lady and my mannish side.

I'm learning that you can be comfortable and still look beautiful.

Everybody dresses like a teenager. Everybody dyes their hair. Everybody is concerned about a smooth face.

The way I need to look, it's a very personal thing. When I started experimenting, it was to make myself feel happy, to look in the mirror and be satisfied. I never did drag or anything like that. It was always that I wanted to be pretty, to look beautiful, as a girl would want to.
