It's so weird to turn on a switch and be the role model for all women, for all African-Americans. That doesn't happen that easily. It does not. So I don't act up in public and don't do anything weird, because my sisters are watching me. Not because the world is watching me.

I have a nice smile, pretty lips, and big round cheeks. They help me look like a teenager.

My goal was just to live a good life that I was happy with. And I wasn't exactly sure that that meant being the star of a movie.

I certainly used to wish that I was skinny, lighter-skinned, with long, pretty hair. But only because I used to get made fun of for being the absolute opposite. I didn't see all of that stuff as the American Dream. I just wanted to look normal. Now that I'm older, I really do feel like I am a beautiful girl.

The reason why America was built is so that we would have the ability to choose who we pray to, whether we do or don't.
