I think sometimes you have high expectations for people because you have high expectations for yourself.

My dream was to be either a volleyball player or a veterinarian.

I'll never forget the day when a woman came up to me and said, 'No, you could never be on a magazine cover. Your face features don't work; your eyes are small, you have a small face but a big nose.' I was only 14 and I had never noticed any of that stuff, you know?

When you come from a big family, you see that, growing up, you're learning how to share. Your sisters have got your back; you're not alone in this - 'We all support you!' Your family provides that; it gives you a sense of safety, and it's a very grounding feeling.

There's a button that goes On and I'm On. And when I go On, there is almost no me; there is just a character who is doing all this.

I feel like when people judge me they're not judging me, because they don't know who I am.

My son is so fortunate, you know. He's always going to have food. Yes, my children are going to be privileged, but that's why it's so important for them to see different realities and to travel, and they do already.
