And my one prayer to God, the miracle worker, was that I would wake up lighter-skinned.

Human beings have an instinct for freedom.

I love color. I'm enjoying trying all different shades. Makeup isn't something I've worn a lot of in my life.

We, as human beings, have the capacity for extreme cruelty.

I haven't yet figured out how to be a celebrity; that's something I'm learning, and I wish there were a course on how to handle it. I have to be aware that my kinesphere may be larger than I want it to be.

I come from a loving, supportive family, and my mother taught me that there are more valuable ways to achieve beauty than just through your external features. She was focused on compassion and respect, and those are the things that ended up translating to me as beauty.

I do my best work when I feel conviction to say something through the character I play. Always I want to have integrity and not compromise that.
