I have a birthmark on the inside of my left knee that resembles an upside-down sea horse.

Plenty of times, I haven't been able to wear certain clothes because they didn't come in my size.

I'm not a big fan of doing what my mother wants me to do, like any daughter.

All we need to do is pay attention to ourselves and pay attention when somebody gives you a compliment based on something that you do naturally. Then that lets you know that that's your talent. I mean, talents come in so many different sizes, so many different colors, so many different ways.

To pray to this God or that God or this religion and that religion or no religion at all, that's the reason why we built America. And that is still very much what we do in this country unless you're brown.

People want to know everyone for a lot of different reasons. It doesn't have to be anything as big as an Oscar nomination. It could be a brand new job. People see their opportunity. And, when you're winning, everyone loves a winner.

I don't think my brand of self-confidence and self-assuredness can come from an outside source. It's got to come from me.
