Moms, you are the first and most influential role model in your girl's life. Use that power.
'Vogue' has the power to make and break - whether it's fashion trends, designers, models, and yes, even industry practices.
We are often told we can't have brains and beauty, and I really hope that my message is that you can put on that red lip and curl your hair and put on that power dress - you don't have to sacrifice one for the other.
I'm not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I'm already doing.
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.
