I learnt early to have little expectation so I protected myself from ever feeling greatly disappointed.

The people that live in my hometown do not walk along the street with smiles on their faces. It is a desperate place, but I got out.

I completely admire my mother for raising a child with cerebral palsy at home.

My appearance gave me access to a particular kind of world and I'm really grateful for it.

I don't mind being called Supernova. If one nickname is going to stick, that's not a bad one!

It's better to be skinny than to be fat.

The best part of work is always working with people and getting to know them and having the sense that you're not actually working.
