Never dull your shine for somebody else.

Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.

I am learning how to delegate and how to empower people.

There have been top supermodels in the past that weren't as tall as the industry demands, like fashion icon Kate Moss.

There is a lack of humor in fashion. To me, it's always been the fun, cool industry to work in, and I always wanted people to be on my side and see how much fun we really have behind the scenes.

I'm really close to my mother. She sacrificed a lot for me and my sister. She gave up her career. Whatever I am today is due to the values my mother instilled in me.

I've done comedy most of my career, which I love, but I wanted to expand.

It's always been my expectation to be the top guy, the face of the company, the one with all of that responsibility. But that should be everybody's goal. I didn't get into this to just be in the middle of the pack. If you want to do that, go work in a different line of work. This isn't the place to camouflage yourself.
