I feel that all of us can contribute something, and it doesn't have to be money. It can just be service or talent.

I tell you why I like Chanel so much: when I started off, no one wanted to give me clothes to wear. Absolutely no one! All the labels said, 'Who is she?' But Chanel believed in me from the very beginning.

I don't think Bollywood is only mindless cinema, but a lot of films they churn out are not films that I completely enjoy watching.

I feel like this whole idea of wanting something that you don't really have is also very American in a way.

It always feels great to be at the start of something new. It's almost like a revolution, in a way.

All people - African, European, American - worry about being different. But I've learned that the traits we'd rush to get rid of are the very ones that others desire. People always covet what they don't have. That's why we should look at ourselves every now and then and say, 'I'm proud of myself. I like the way I'm made.'

One of my favorite actors is Javier Bardem, he always challenges his previous roles, and basically does the unexpected.
