"I don't really view it as 'natural,' she explained.
"I think that artifice is the new reality. It's more about just being honest and sincere to the core of what you do."
"Don't you think that what's on the cover of a magazine is quite artificial?" she asked.
"There's this idea that it's all natural, but everything's been staged to look natural. It is also an invention. It's just that my inventions are different."
