My mother never wanted me to focus on my physical self. She always said that beauty is what you do.

Women slave for their hair! It's all about how we compare ourselves to other women, how we size ourselves up.

If you're of multiple races, you have a different challenge, a unique challenge of embracing all of who you are but still finding a way to identify yourself and I think that's often hard for us to do.

When I’m rested, I’m at my best.

Facials are my biggest beauty indulgence. Looking good is about having a good base. It's about taking care of your skin.

My daughter doesn't want to go to school because she knows 'the men' are watching for her. They jump out of the bushes and from behind cars and who knows where else, besieging these children just to get a photo.

I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right. I don't think I'm unlike a lot of people. I am just someone who is trying to find that mate, and I think it's a really hard thing to do. And I'm not willing to stay somewhere where I am really not happy. And I am not willing to pretend I am for the kid's sake or so that I don't have to go through another public humiliation.
