“I think just having smooth skin is so great because when you get your summer tan, you don’t have to do anything. It’s just soft and smooth.”

My biggest thing about being a role model is whatever I’m preaching, I’m practicing.

My mother was my beauty icon my whole life.

Even if I have no other makeup on, I always want a nude lip, and if I’m going to do a bright, I want it to be matte.

A camel is a very awkward animal to ride, and it’s very hard to get used to because they’re not very graceful.

I’ve learned that if I only put my mind to one thing that I can get tunnel vision. Then I may not be as open to other opportunities because I’m so focused on one thing.

I read one thing, and 100 people can say good things then you read one bad thing that says you’re the worst and you believe them.

I personally think my sister is so stunning without makeup. And she doesn’t wear that much makeup because she has the best skin color.

Like the ocean, you can be everything at once.

I get to go back and ride my horses with all the people that I grew up with because that’s really fun for me.

The most hurtful thing to me is when people try to put assumptions on me and my relationship because that is not OK.

Love is something that’s really serious and private that you can’t try to claim or know.

There are some shows that you wish you could walk and be in the audience for at the same time.

I just want to work hard and be nice to people, and I feel like when you touch people in that way, on a more personal level, then they go to work the next day pushing for you.

Going and running, just to run on the treadmill, wasn’t my thing.

My biggest fear is the people I love not knowing how much I love them. I just want to remind people all the time.

I always feel better and more beautiful in things that I’m comfortable in so I was fine with putting a little makeup on and keeping my leggings on and going to a party.

We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased we are glad. If they aren?t it doesn?t matter.

I remember when I first started being in magazines, I had pretty thin skin. I was this nerd that read books and stayed home and didn’t go out.

Any woman can look her best if she feels good in her skin. It’s not a question of clothes or makeup. It’s how she sparkles.

I still like me, inside and out. Not in a vain way – I just feel good in my skin.

Your scars were looking for the perfect place to land. My skin was soft.

I am not afraid of love. I am afraid of loving so hard that every vein and bone and fragment of this skin, would break at the absence of you.
