I try not to go to sleep with makeup, because I think it clogs your pores. I always wash my face with something that contains salicylic acid.

I just want to continue to break barriers and to show the industry and the world that beauty is diverse, and you don't have to be a certain stereotype to be beautiful.

When you look at the world, the world isn't just one palette. It's a beautiful rainbow, and why not have someone to represent that rainbow?

Fashion is part of our culture, and it's about more than just a pretty dress.

I also work out because I have scoliosis. I have to maintain certain strength in my core.

I would like to pick Rihanna's brain. I love her style and what she does.

My bikini, a pair of black high heels and a pair of comfortable jeans.

I would always hunch over, I was always taller than the boys. I had the extremely skinny legs... I would double up my socks, those ones from Footlocker, to make my legs look thicker.

I'm Puerto Rican! You can never take my rice, pork, and beans away. Plus, I love to cook. I'm one of those people who stay in the kitchen standing while everything is cooking, checking on everything.

I'm a little bit of everything. Sometimes people think I'm not Puerto Rican, because my name doesn't sound Spanish.

I need someone who always wants more out of life. Like me - I'm just that way.

God has given us all our unique story. It's not one that flows easily or pretty, but the story is ours! Find it and treasure it...

The thing is, it's not uncool to worry about people who seem like they're going on the wrong path. There's nothing cool about being self-destructive.

Effective leaders share two intertwined attributes: an unbridled level of confidence about where their organizations are headed, and the ability to bring people along.

I don't want to hear music, I don't want the sunrise to be pink. The world is a liar. Its ugliness is overwhelming; the scraps of beauty make it worse.

When awareness embraces the senses, it enlivens them.

I feel like if you can describe something fully and accurately, then people will be able to see it themselves - they don't need be told what to.

I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.

I am dragged along by a strange new force. Desire and reason are pulling in different directions. I see the right way and approve it, but follow the wrong.

I spend a lot of time talking to young and emerging producers on Twitter, feeding back thoughts and encouraging them.
