I've always had that going on: "I can't," and then I do, so the voice says, "Well, that was an exception!" It's a tug-of-war between two voices: the one who knows she can and the one who's scared she can't.

I grew up in Nairobi, which is the capital of Kenya, so it's hustle and bustle, and there's always something going on.

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

I discovered that joy is not the negation of pain, but rather acknowledging the presence of pain and feeling happiness in spite of it.

[My mother] always said I was beautiful and I finally believed her at some point.

What is fundamentally beautiful is compassion: for yourself and for those around you.

I dress according to how I feel.
