Because I wished good for everybody. But, I slowly learned "No it's because I'm successful. If you guys are not doing that, then I'm not making enough noise". So, ultimately learning that was actually a good sign that I am being successful and I'm getting up the ladder." - Taylor Perry   "Understand the cultural differences. You have a "brow daddy" style brow that is saturated, very dark hard lines, and then you have people who like softer natural-looking stuff and always talk trash about that style. But it's just a cultural difference. And there are so many people who love that style and don't like the other lighter style." - Taylor Perry   "The more I market to people who have no clue this even exists, the better for all of us. Somebody needs to do this. It doesn't matter who does them, as long as somebody does them, it's gonna make people aware of what I provide. The more people who market, the more people who (we) make aware that we exist, the better for all of us." - Taylor Perry
