We have some inspiring content lined up for you over the next few days, but first, here’s an excerpt from the interview: . BT: What does beauty mean to you? YG: “Even though it has been said a bazillion times, beauty does lie in the eye of the beholder. I truly believe that my idea of beautiful may differ from yours. For me, beauty is about being natural…staying as close to who you are in every way possible. Of course, one’s idea of beauty also evolves with time. When I look back at my old pictures, there are some things that I wish stayed the way they were, and certain things that are better now. But it’s really about being comfortable with who you are.” BT: What is your stance on the beauty standards set by society? YG: “I think we are living in a very complex age. There are too many things happening at once around us…especially with the advent of social media. The level of aspiration that one develops looking at pictures of someone considered ‘beautiful’ on the other side of the globe is very concerning. Both ideas of accepting who you are and the idea of being more ‘conventionally desirable’ exist today. Because of the many options that we are given, it’s not easy to condition young minds to stay the way they are. But at the end of the day it’s your body, your face…you have the right to do whatever makes you happy…” .
