It doesn't escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else's.

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

Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It keeps us honest.

That you will feel the validation of your external beauty but also get to the deeper business of being beautiful inside. There is no shade in that beauty.

To this day, I love eating steak tacos before going to the red carpets.

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

It's only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you're not expressing the utmost of your human experience.
