“I’m a really big believer in self care. One of the ways I nourish my soul is I eat the way I live my life – joyfully.”

I have to take some time to dream some new dreams. I feel like there’s a treasure hunt in front of me. A treasure hunt that is speckled with and seeded by a deep-rooted wild freedom.

Why am I beating my hair up? Because I want it to look like something that it isn’t? These are questions that I’ve been pondering my whole life.

Wisdom means to choose now what will make sense later.

I want to be awake. I want to choose kindness, live & let live. I want joy, gratitude, and peace today.

I think television is doing a better job than films in terms of representing people, but television is still not diverse.

My mom didn’t adhere to any of those typical rules. She woke us up for school every morning, and was there at dinner or would call at bedtime. She never left for longer than a week. She recorded while we were sleeping.

If I’m going to show cleavage or chest then I don’t show leg. I show one thing. If I show leg then everything else is covered up.

In some of the darkest and hardest moments, there is always a part of me that is okay. And I can always access that part of me.

It would drive the photographers crazy because I would giggle and tell jokes. I was gregarious, and looking back, I realize I had a captive audience.

Somehow [Kenya Bariss] has figured out how to explore these very weighty, sticky, sharp topics, and still be funny and not make fun of the topic.

Black-ish is really a show about an American family and these are some of the topics that come up – for all of us, in different ways – and we get to see how this family is walking through it.

I was shy, but it came out in a big personality. My turning point was when I let my hair go naturally and I got contact lenses. I am really blind, by the way. I have these big eyes that don’t work!

There are a ton of foods that are great for you, that’s like an indulgence.

It was when I realized I needed to stop trying to be somebody else and be myself, that I actually started to own, accept and love what I had.

This is a couple that actually loves, respects & appreciates each other.

The two things that I thought were really interesting about this character [Bow] for me were that she actually loved her husband, and he loved her. The comedy was not coming from the fact that they hated each other. Which is what television couples are usually based on.

The person with big talk and big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts. I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master.

I don’t think you should feel too pressured about a mixtape. Just do what you want to do and show the music you want to show. You’re not trying to win something big with it.

Every achievement, big or small, begins in your mind.

The hunger to win must not die. The appetite has to remain big.

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.

José Mourinho is a big star. He’s nice. The first time he met Helena [Ibrahimovic’s partner] he whispered to her: ‘Helena, you have only one mission – feed Zlatan, let him sleep, keep him happy.’ That guy says whatever he wants. I like him.

You don’t overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.

My biggest achievement is that I can make a lot of people smile just by my presence, even if it’s a Lux ad.
