Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it's not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don't want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it's not unhealthy, so I'm going to rock with it.

The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently.

HIV/AIDS has been a big epidemic for my generation, it's been around for as long as I've been alive.

Young people, we have this thing about us, this invincibility, because we're young and we're growing up and we want to have fun, and we want to be crazy, and nothing's wrong with that unless you're not being responsible.

Spend time with people who know how to use their days well. Just as iron sharpens iron, positive people will inspire you to be positive.

I have friends from rock stars to Rastas; I don't even know what an unexpected friend is.

Tears were for the weaker days, I'm stronger now
