So I'm OK with myself, with history, my work, who I am and who I was.

Every new fashion is a form of rebellion.

I learned to hear silence. That's the kind of life I lived: simple. I learned to see things in people around me, in my mom, dad, brothers and sisters.

We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists... in the loved one, perfection.

I was the only Black person on the set. It was unusual for me to be in a circumstance in which every move I made was tantamount to representation of 18 million people.

I was born two months early, and everyone had given up on me. But my mother insisted on my life.

I"ve learned that I must find positive outlets for anger or it will destroy me.
