Being first lady is not just about being the wife but really taking command and having true vision.
I've wanted to adopt since I was eight, nine years old. I really do think I will.
I used to want to write commercials as a kid.
I've made mistakes before of doing different projects just based on my dreams, my hopes, my thing, and not really thinking about my customers.
I volunteer a lot of my time with an organization in New York called The Center for Children and Families.
Us brown-skinned girls get ashy if we don't moisturize.
I would love for models to be protected by a guild.
I would love to do Rihanna's makeup. I love her cupid's bow!
I think of dystopian as 'Mad Max,' as 'Book of Eli,' as the world is ending.
When it comes to my celebrity interviews, I'm going to do a lot deeper research and ask them things that people haven't asked before, ... I've been on the other side so much, I have a leg up on a person that has only just interviewed people.
I'm so simple. If I don't have groceries, I eat popcorn and Tang for dinner.
I don't have that 'OMG, I gotta get married' thing! If it happens, it happens, but it's never been like, 'Oooo, I need to do that!'
One of the big, most underlying messages for me is celebrating beauty that is not typical.
Screw being a singer! I wanna be the voice of my generation with my talk show.
