What have you been most surprised by working in the beauty industry?

There is no definition of beauty. There is no perfect version of this; almost imperfection makes someone or something beautiful. While our generation still has an insatiable appetite to chase mortality (like the movie Death Becomes Her, that’s such a good movie), we’re starting to see an acceptance of beautiful women with grey hair, women not having cosmetic medicine or women sprinkling in cosmetic treatments with natural skincare. I said this in my book, beauty is like an uncaged wild animal, and we are all trying to define it. For me, beauty comes from being your absolute truth.

Have you felt pressure to have appearance medicine or surgery?

I sometimes feel pressure, especially when I see someone who looks great that has had work done. I see things changing, especially around the neck area and lines around my mouth (I have always had lines around my mouth, I used to pinch my lips together as a child). Right now, I am seeing the rise and fall of my face depending on how much sleep I have had. But there is pressure; I have had conversations with guys who say, "she looks great for her age”, and I say, yes, but she has had lots of work done. So yes, of course. But I think you have to do you, and if you’re happy with a little bit of Botox, then do that. You have to be comfortable with yourself. For me, if or when the day comes that I want to have surgery, I will.

What are your secrets to staying healthy and looking youthful?

I don’t have any secrets, and I don’t have a strict routine; I like to keep it simple. It depends where I am, right now, I am in Bali, and it’s humid, so my skin doesn’t need much. But when I am in Los Angeles, my skin needs lots of moisture, it soaks it up. I try to eat as best as I can, plant-based food and fish (I haven’t dropped out on fish yet), and a good night’s sleep works wonders.

Why was Essano a brand you wanted to work with?

It’s available in the supermarket; it’s accessible; it’s affordable. Honestly, the fact that organic beauty is becoming so expensive, and it’s only for a certain demographic, is not okay. It needs to be accessible to everybody. I first saw Essano in the supermarket about ten years ago and reached out to them while we were planning Tour of Beauty, then again last year, I saw it again in Rite Aid in America, I bought it, and I loved it. I like that Essano do not test on animals, and committed to sustainability.

What is the rarest singing voice?

countertenor A countertenor is a male singer who can sing as high as a soprano or mezzo-soprano. The countertenor is the rarest of all voice types.

A countertenor is a male singer who can sing as high as a soprano or mezzo-soprano. The countertenor is the rarest of all voice types. The countertenor was not originally an operatic voice type as historically it was the castrati who would sing the female operatic roles in an age when it was not proper for women to sing in the opera. Instead, countertenors were popular in religious choirs where women were also not allowed to participate. Today the countertenor is arguably the most profitable voice type, mainly due to rarity and lack of competition at auditions. Many baroque operas utilise the countertenor today due to many being written for castrati singers. The opera Giulio Cesare by Handel requires 4 countertenors to replace the castrati singers. Some modern operas also cast countertenors, such as Jonathon Dove's Pinocchio which really showcases the intricacies of the voice type. It's easy to mistake yourself for a countertenor as all male voices have an area in the voice called the falsetto. This is a high pitched area, usually quieter and softer in tone than the main voice. If the singer has trained his falsetto range well it can easily be mistaken for a countertenor voice.
