“Many people are insecure of many people.”

As it is, relationships are difficult, aren’t they?

People talk about PlayStations, video games, social network and Twitter; I can’t handle it.

I don’t feel like a 27-year-old; I feel I am way mature than someone that age.

The kind of roles which you get, people identify with your roles, and it then leads to the kind of brands you get.

I don’t seek validation outside, not even with the audience. Today they like me, but tomorrow they may hate me. I don’t want to be anybody’s role model.

No one can guarantee success of a film.

Tone matters more than words.

Learning should never stop.

I am now in a position to choose roles. I did not have so many offers before ‘Queen,’ but now things have changed a lot.

I write poems, I meditate. I don’t live up to people’s expectations. I don’t do the conventional cool things – I know I am the coolest person.

I come from a middle class family, and my parents weren’t too supportive of my career choices.

Even when I was rebelling against my father, the point was to follow my own intuition and instinct.

Money can’t buy everything, but it can buy most of it. Because of money, I could give my parents a comfortable life.

You want to taste my ruby lips but fear they’ll leave a mark. Loving you is trespassing, forbidden access to an insecure heart.

My Instagram doesn’t cover my insecurities, my lack of self-confidence, that week I spent crying, there’s a question of whether I should be sharing that online.

I want my boys to have an understanding of people’s emotions, their insecurities, people’s distress, and their hopes and dreams.

Jealousy takes root in the soil of insecurity.

I don’t let anyone’s insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that’s all that matters to me.

Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue… and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.

Insecurity kills all that is beautiful.

I had to confront my fears and master my every demonic thought about inferiority, insecurity, or the fear of being black, young, and gifted in this Western culture.
