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

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

I dress according to how I feel.

Whoopi Goldberg looked like me, she had hair like mine, she was dark like me. I'd been starved for images of myself. I'd grown up watching a lot of American TV.

What I've learned from myself is that I don't have to be anybody else. Myself is good enough.

I grew up watching foreign programs - American, English, Mexican, and very little Kenyan. 'The Color Purple' was the first time I saw people who looked like me.

What I will say is that what I have learned for myself is that I don’t have to be anybody else; and that myself is good enough; and that when I am being true to that self, then I can avail myself to extraordinary thingsYou have to allow for the impossible to be possible.
