My mother never wanted me to focus on my physical self. She always said that beauty is what you do.

Facials are my biggest beauty indulgence. Looking good is about having a good base. It's about taking care of your skin.

The man for me is the cherry on the pie. But I'm the pie and my pie is good all by itself. Even if I don't have a cherry.

I'm just honest. They [asians] don't want to see black people generally in their movies.

Hillary Clinton almost got to be president. The reasons why she didn't become president had to do with bad judgments about how to handle the early caucus states, which is not a gender-specific trait.

Mothers always think their children are prettier than they really are, and mine has always told me I look like Tom Cruise.

Tennis is a world out of touch with reality

Breath is the power behind all things… I breathe in and know that good things will happen.

Give thanks for all that shows up in your life including the stuff that you perceive to be negative, the things that you wish wouldn't have happened. Don't take anything forgranted.
