Sexiness is a state of mind - a comfortable state of being. It's about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments.

When I got to be about 16,17 I got into a beauty pageant and I was allowed to start playing around with makeup.

It gave me strength and toughness because I had to face reality, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was.

Although some people will say it's a cliché, I think not having had a father when I was growing up affect me negatively because I didn't have a good role model to follow.

I have to live for me. I have to do what I need to do for me, and I have stopped concerning myself with what people say.

During really difficult times in my life when I start questioning why I am struggling with something, I often turn to books to understand myself better.

To make lips look naturally pink, I put on red lipstick, wipe it off, and then apply clear gloss.
