I had had an extroverted personality with a lot of friends, but when I lost the weight and grew so tall, I withdrew within myself.

Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can't we just be the sexy American girl next door?

It was really hurtful to me. I get so much mail from young girls who say, 'I look up to you, you're not as skinny as everyone else, I think you're beautiful.' So when they say that my body is 'ugly' and 'disgusting,' what does that make those girls feel like?

Most of my career is spent in a meeting... dressed sharply, looking really great; negotiating over a table, strategizing or coming up with new marketing plans or new ideas. And that makes me really, really happy.

I think every woman would want to do something about their cellulite!

I want to be like the athletes who seem stuck in time. When you see them at 50, you say they probably can still run like a champ.

I love being able to go to a store, let's say... a store like Topshop or Zara or maybe even Macy's, depends on what department, and not have to look at the price tag.
