I Won Once [an Oscar]. So It

Actors Have No Color. That's The Art Form.

When I Was Nine Years Old, Star Trek Came On, I Looked At It And I Went Screaming Through The House, 'come Here, Mum, Everybody, Come Quick, Come Quick, There's A Black Lady On Television And She Ain't No Maid!' I Knew Right Then And There I Could Be Anything I Wanted To Be.

If You Get A Little Gassy, You've Got To Let It Go. So People Used To Say To Me, 'you're Like A Whoopee Cushion.'

No Matter What You Say To Yourself, You Do Want To Win. You Try To Look Casual, Like You're Not Thinking, 'oh, Please Pick Me.'

I Think Because I've Gotten Permission From My Style Icons Like Tim Gunn And André Leon Talley, Who Say To Me, "you Don't Need To Dress Like Anyone Else, Because You're Your Own Fashion Icon. You Represent Comfortable. And You Do Fashion Your Way, And You Should Be At Fashion Week." They Gave Me Permission To Enjoy It! And It's Great!
