Lupita Nyong’o

Please stop debating about whether or not I aged well. Unfortunately it hurts all 3 of my feelings…

No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you are beautiful.

Because of the self-confidence with which he had spoken, no one could tell whether what he said was very clever or very stupid.

The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within- strength, courage, dignity.

I’ve never had a problem with how I look. I’d rather have lunch with friends than go to the gym.

My principal sin is doubt. I doubt everything, and am in doubt most of the time.

Didn’t want y’all to call me fat, so I got liposuction. And they gave me opioids.

I’m also honored to have the greatest temperament that anybody has.

I didn’t have high self-esteem when I was a teenager, as I think most teenagers don’t.

The first thing to do is be happy with yourself and appreciate your body-only then should you try to change things about yourself.

Don’t ever call a girl fat. Even if you’re joking.

To be your own person, you need good friends. Friends are the treasure of your life.

I feel beautiful without makeup on, but when I do put makeup on, it just gives me this extra pop.

Being able to take care of myself is something that my mom really instilled in me.

If I don’t feel confident about my body, I’m not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It’s all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it’s fitness or whatever.
