And It [acting] Was Exciting To Me.

I Was Recently Watching Rihanna On The Billboard Awards, And I Was Like, My God, She's Incredible! And Then I Looked Up Her Age [28]. She's Always Been Talented. She's Always Been A Star. But When You See Her, She's Becoming Herself. It's Age That Happens. That's What I Respond To.

I Don't Have The Luxury Of Not Going To Work When I Don't Feel Up To It. Most People Don't. On Those Days, I Acknowledge I Am Feeling F-cking Crappy, And I'm Not At My Best, And I Still Want To Or Need To Keep Walking Forward. I Have To Do Some Of My Best Work On My Worst Days. I Have To Look Pretty Even When I Don't Feel Pretty. There's A Way To Hold Both Things.

One Of The Things I've Realized Is How Portable God Is. No Really, He's Everywhere!

I Wanted Bow's Hair And Makeup And Clothing To Look Like A Woman Who Has Four Children, A Career, And A Full Life. For Example, She Won't Wear Eyeshadow Unless She's Going Out. Because It Takes A Lot Of Time To Put Eyeshadow On. She's A Woman Who Has Style, But It's All About Functionality - She Grabs Stuff From Her Closet.

Someone Asked Me Recently, "do You Get Sick Of People Asking You About Your Hair?" And The Reason I Don't Is Because I Actually Feel Like You Could Chronicle My Journey Of Self-acceptance Through My Journey With My Hair. It's A Badge Of Something Bigger.
