I belong nowhere and to no one.

Personal style? I don't really believe in that. Whatever is comfortable.

I love the truth. Tell the truth and live the truth, because we've seen enough lies and look what it's doing.

Give love and share happiness with the people around you, and never give up fighting for what you believe in.

When I became successful as a model in the United States, I knew that my chance to be heard had come and so I took it.

I love life. I wish I could live another 500 years, truly. There is so much to do. I don't feel bitter or angry or disappointed. If anything, I am very grateful for where I come from. I have absolutely no regrets.

Mama tied a blindfold over my eyes. The next thing I felt my flesh was being cut away. I heard the blade sawing back and forth through my skin. The pain between my legs was so intense I wished I would die.
