Being called gorgeous is not a bad thing! But at the same time, I donโt want to thrive on peopleโs opinions of me.
Lupita Nyong'oIt's great to have something to dress up for. You know, I spent three years in slacks at drama school, so now I like putting a dress on.

Lupita Nyong'oI feel a responsibility to myself and my parents and the people whose love has gotten me this far - people who were in my life before fame. That's where I get my sense of self. It's deadly for anyone to take on that role of a deity; it's not sustainable. I've got tons of flaws. Call my mother - she'll tell you! She keeps it real. Sometimes you don't want to hear the truth; she'll tell it to you out of love.
