Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses because we were born this way.

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.

Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world. I had to feel the exuberance that comes from utter confidence in yourself. Without it, you go down to defeat.

To everyone who says this is wrong to feel like this say, 'I was born this way baby.

One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.

Even as a child I remember thinking, She can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit.
