A person's self-esteem has nothing to do with how she looks.

Self-esteem comes from who you have in your life. How you were raised. What you struggled with as a child.

When an opportunity comes your way, it's about making sure you're prepared to be the one who can walk through the door and deliver the goods. And I've had a lot of luck on my side and I've been prepared for that luck.

Most people I know of that mix have a real ability to be in a room with anyone, black or white.

Beauty is not just physical.

Nature has got it all wrong: When you are younger, it should be harder to get pregnant, and as you get older it should be easier.

Any time you risk big you often risk losing big. You can win big but you can also lose big, but you have to be willing to take those risks.
