ask funny people talking taught teach
I would ask my mother to show me how to walk - and she did show me. That's why I think it's funny when people say, 'Did so-and-so teach you how to walk?' And I always say, 'You must be talking about my mother, because it was my mother who taught me how to walk.'
years people television
When I wanted to change the concept of what I was doing, I needed to be more public because it involved more people to collaborate. And I'm doing television now. I have to be honest, I was very afraid to do TV. I said no for 10 years.
father knowing people
I've never made an excuse of not knowing my father, because I've had great people in my life.
stupid people black
I look at modeling as something I'm doing for black people in general.
people television want
I've always been very shy of doing television. I've always said 'no.' Not to be disrespectful to anyone - I didn't want to say 'yes' and then let people down.
jobs years people
I've been doing my job well for 17 years. People must see something in me. Otherwise, I'd be over and out.
always-trying people want
I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.
asking-questions people looks
I'm determined, and I'm passionate and driven about whatever I commit myself to do. If I don't know something, I'm going to ask, and I've got no problems in asking questions. I never have. People ask me, "Are you nervous when you go on the runway? You don't look it." Yes, I am.
people three attention
If you have to talk to more than three people about the same problem, you don't want help, you want attention.
people challenges looks
It's a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don't like is predictable.
confident scary start
What is very scary is that you start to feel too confident and you start to feel indispensable.
fantastic forces joined
It would be fantastic if everyone joined forces to give what they can.
care children future improvement life maximum
They are all addressed at the improvement of the life of children. Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.
anger based deeper self-esteem
Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue, ... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.
