I was somebody who never loved my hair. I had curly hair and wished it was straight.

It's a real gift when you find someone to share your life with.

I remember being seven and asking my mom if I was as pretty as Monique [my best friend in grade school]. And with all the love in the world, my mom looked at me and said, 'Oh, honey, you're so funny.' So, she doesn't lie to me...she answers the question by not answering and instead tells me what she thinks is my greatest strength.

The idea is to be healthy, not to wear yourself down or to try and be a twig or change yourself drastically.

Don't rely on men but don't shun them either.

I really kind of pride myself on figuring stuff out pretty quickly but I couldn't, couldn't. I just had no idea.

I don't get sent anything strange like underwear. I get sent cookies.
