I have a very ostrich mentality. I feel like I have my head in the sand so no one can see me.

I'm pretty awesome at making salad dressings.

I went to an all-boys high school, and they accepted girls in only the two A.P. classes. They had these archaic rules: for example, girls couldn't wear makeup. I found it so outrageous that an all-boys school could tell girls to not wear makeup! So I went on a campaign. I got a petition signed and everything. If a girl wants to wear makeup to boost confidence, why not?

There is no shame in black beauty.

Beautiful people have many advantages, but so do friendly people.

I think it's a real gift to be faced with man's potential for extreme cruelty but also man's resilience and the fact that love really does conquer everything. It's the only answer to these kinds of atrocities and it's not a passive thing.

I loved duping my parents; I liked manipulating them. It was a way for me to stand out. It was fun.
