“The thing is, I live a very public life, and I have to keep things personal, or else I have no personal life. It’s very difficult.”

I don’t do facials – I don’t really enjoy people picking at my skin. I’d rather a dermatologist who’s a doctor for that do that.

I put castor oil in my eyebrows. And I also tint my eyebrows when I get them cleaned up. That way, I don’t have to be constantly filling them in, because I’m lazy.

I definitely would not do a reality show.

My biggest goal in life will be achieved when I have a family, when I have my own kids that I can raise myself and bring up based on what I know. I always think it’s the wildest idea – raising a whole, entire human is insane to me, and I’ve always wanted kids.

I don’t see myself as famous; I see myself as a normal person with a job that is not very normal. My work life is very out there and very public. But I do my best to maintain my privacy.

I wouldn’t ever pose naked. I’m fine to do bikinis and certainly lingerie if I feel it’s done tastefully… cute like Victoria’s Secret, but nothing like raunchy or overly sexual.

I know all the books of the Bible.

I think a lot about when times were simpler, when I was still dancing and living with my parents. I really miss living at home sometimes. I get really sad.

I never want to put my name on something that I don’t love or wouldn’t wear myself.

I’m lucky that I have my family, I’m lucky that my parents are still together. Those are the things that I cherish.

I think if I was going to be someone for a day, I would want to be a performer, someone big, like Rihanna. I’d want to feel the energy of being on stage. I’ve always found that very interesting.

I was raised in church. I was brought up in that life, and I think that it’s very important for everybody to be in touch with their spirituality and to have a relationship with God.

I think the most expensive thing I’ve bought thus far is my Rolex.

I love Rihanna. I think her style just pushes a lot of boundaries. My tomboy side takes inspiration from her.

Sometimes I Google myself just to see what people are saying. But we all do that. If someone tells you that they don’t, then they are lying.

Acting is in my family. My cousins, my sister, and I always say it’s a legacy that should be kept alive. In the future, it’s something I really want.

My real difficulty was to become a normal person again, after having been a movie actress for so long. For me, at the time I was living in New York and Hollywood, a normal person was someone who made movies.

I think playing against [Lionel Messi] is pretty difficult. Playing by the side of the best of the world is always good. Things get easier. And if I have to win, may it be by Messi’s side. It would be great.

For African-Americans, it’s still going to be – some people say double hard – I’d say four times as hard. Be an opportunist. Take advantage of your resources, because the only way to win is with education, self-esteem, having value in yourself.

The way of truth is like a great road. It is not difficult to know it. The evil is only that men will not seek it.

The school of life offers some difficult courses, but it is in the difficult class that one learns the most.

I’m full of fears and I do my best to avoid difficulties and any kind of complications. I like everything around me to be clear as crystal and completely calm.

As I always say, I do not wish you an easy time, but I wish you that whatever difficulty you may have, you will overcome it.

The amount of money we receive will always be in direct ratio to the demand for what we do; our ability to do it; and the difficulty in replacing us.
