They try to paint the picture that I was this downtrodden, ugly girl who was unpopular in school and in life, and then I got this role and now Iโm awesome. But the truth is that Iโve been awesome, and then I got this role.
Gabourey SidibeI didn't want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.
Gabourey SidibeIt'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.
