*"When you do a double take, thinking something about a model is makeup and it turns out to be their real face and it is beautiful, that is the 'exotic' I look for. Sofia Loren is exotic, Djaimon Honsu is exotic, Yvonne De Carlo was exotic. They have sculpturally breathtaking features that really would shock the kind of person who never leaves their hometown, but even people who get around are surprised when they first see these people. Exotic must be elegant in form, and exotic must be breathtakingly rare. For me, that is."
