The strangest part about being famous is you don't get to give first impressions anymore. Everyone already has an impression of you before you meet them.

I always say every single moment that has led me to this moment has made me who I am.

Hateful, racist and ignorant remarks. When I hear people criticize without knowing the context, it makes me boil inside.

I'm so grateful that I was raised by a mother who really instilled in me that my moral compass and achievements all had to come from a real place that had nothing to do with my beauty or how I looked. That was very big for her.

I think we want to be around people that kind of push us and inspire us and maybe teach us.

It's very counterintuitive to boil down something so personal, something that requires privacy. All of a sudden, you open it up to the world and put it in a context where you could easily trivialize what you've done. If people sense that discomfort, they're not wrong.

When I'm about to blow the candles on my birthday cake and everybody is telling me I must make a wish, I just go into a tailspin. I'm thinking: what do I wish?, and I just can't seem to think about anything. Then I close my eyes, take a deep breath and there comes my wish. I don't know how to explain what goes on inside of me, but that's what happens: breathing is the key to understand what's really important to me.
