Modeling and pageants help me overcome feeling insecure about the way that I look and my height.

In pageants, you are evaluated from head to toe and its obviously all about looks, and as vain as that is, they can also bring you lots of opportunities to do amazing things.

I'm from Alabama and I have morals and I have class. That's my personality.

Many girls prepare their whole lives for this one moment. For me, I see Miss USA as an opportunity to reach new and greater heights in the future.

I just try to stick to clean foods, anything grilled like salmon, chicken, fish, brown rice, and veggies. I do have a really big sweet tooth, so I try to curb my cravings with fruit instead.

Ive never really been the type to dress up like the other girls do. Im more of a casual, relaxed kind of girl. More athletic.

I've done modeling since I was 18, but it didn't take off until I moved to Los Angeles. Modeling has always been something I've been really good at, and has been something that's helped pay bills.

Every single model wants to be in Sports Illustrated, and I feel extremely blessed to have that opportunity.

Pageant makeup is so different from your day-to-day look. When you're on stage you really have to pack it on.

There were a story scripted on the wall, no words used though, just pictures, memories, from another world. Her happy place.

Somehow, we have gotten off track from the basics of health and spirituality, and we get in our own way.

The only way you get that fat off is to eat less and exercise more.

To realize truth, you must cross all boundaries of all religions and all prophets

Practice, the master of all things.

The world is satisfied with words, few care to dive beneath the surface.

A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.

My heart's desire is to be recognised in Nigeria.

I write books back to back, and I work very hard on them.

I wish I was CEO of 4chan instead
