This moment is so much bigger than me. It's for every nameless, faceless woman of colour that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened.

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.

Don't take yourself too seriously. Know when to laugh at yourself, and find a way to laugh at obstacles that inevitably present themselves.

I chose a sunflower because when darkness descends they close up to regenerate. But I really wish I'd never had the tattoo in the first place. Clean, clear skin is always better.

I'm not sad at all about turning 40.

What's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.

There have been so many people who have said to me, 'You can't do that,' but I've had an innate belief that they were wrong. Be unwavering and relentless in your approach.

Sexiness is a state of mind - a comfortable state of being. It's about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments.

I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.

Beauty is not just physical. It's about what you stand for, how you live your life.

I love my country, not my government.

Better the devils you know than the one you don't.

A mother only does her children harm if she makes them the only concern of her life.

I say, 'Woe to them that have a nose, a real nose, and come to look round the torture-chamber! Aha, aha, aha!

A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves.

We're still not where we're going but we're not where we were.

There's no glory and no respect in making fun of the weak, the powerless.

I work a lot and I like to get out and work but the work I do to make the other work work I'm not very good at.

The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.

Great style means having a point of view, but evolving your look is even more important. Rushing to embrace every trend will leave you fashionable, but not stylish
