It'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.

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.

We don't get to pick the genes we want. There's room in this world for beauty to be diverse.

I definitely intend to create my own work in the future so that we don't have to keep saying we don't have work for black women. But right now I don't know what's next. I hope that there are more opportunities to come my way.

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

You can’t eat beauty. It doesn’t feed you.

I think beauty is an expression of love.
