"I am a person of color, I have never been known to play it safely. In addition, I like big bags. My glasses are so large; They do not come into smaller bags. "

"Just keep in mind that I am the oldest teen living in the world."

"You must know yourself and know what you can wear. If you are not comfortable, no matter how well you are dressed, you will not look good. I prefer to be happy and I feel comfortable. "

"If you put something together and it does not look so good, the fashion font will not come and take you. And if they do, you might have a little pleasure in prison. "

"Plus is more and more a bore."

"Aging is grasping hardly no heavy makeup, and not too much powder because it enters the wrinkles, and you know, not to have turtle eyelids and try not to look too young. You do not need to look like an old Fuddy-Duddy, but I think it was Chanel who said, "Nothing makes a woman as old as to try desperately hard to watch young. I think you can be attractive at any age. I think trying to look like a spring chicken when you do not look ridiculous. "

"Now, when I go down the fifth avenue in the summer, I just want to vomit. It seems that the biggest and ugliest are, the fewes clothes they wear. Shorts and flip flops and tight jeans on butts that go from here to Poughkeepsie. "She's shudding." I always say that they should put people in prison to wear clothes like that. Especially extensible jeans on size 10 - they should be banned. Ten years ago, people were starting to look like Dlobs in New York is now an epidemic. "

"Make your own thing is very good, if you have one thing to do."

"If you can not be pretty, you must learn to make you attractive. I found that all the pretty girls I went to high school with the Middle Ages as fragments because they have just taken with their pretty faces, they never developed anything. They never learned to be interesting. But if you are deprived of some things, you have to compose them in some ways. You do not think? "
