“
People always ask me,
'You have so much confidence. Where did that
come from?' It came from me. One day I decided
that I
was beautiful, and so I carried out
my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear
colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me
feel pretty, and it really
helps. It doesn't have anything
to do with how the world perceives you.
What matters is what you see. Your body is
your temple,
your home, and you must
decorate it.
