"I've had people look down on me, put me down because I didn't look like them—because I didn't have the same skin color."

"I don't have any regrets. I've lived my life the way I wanted to live it."

"I don't believe in limits."

"I'm not afraid to be myself. I'm not afraid to speak my mind."

"I'm not going to let anyone tell me what I can or cannot do."
