I've always had trouble finding makeup in darker shades.
When I was a child, the world of makeup was so different. There wasn't the wide range of shades available for darker skin tones like there is now.
To be honest, even I was tanned three shades darker in 'Love Sonia.' The fact that people were able to connect to my character was very important. Why should we not have that kind of makeup?
I was always a class clown, so I never had trouble fitting in; I just had trouble finding out where I really wanted to be.
A garden is to be a world unto itself, it had better make room for the darker shades of feeling as well as the sunny ones.
I always felt out of place. I wasn't a cool kid, but I wasn't a nerd, either. I had trouble finding my place. But when I found the music, I had a place of my own.
At 36, I think I should be more mature and handle characters with darker shades.
The reason why I started the clothing line Licious is because I had trouble finding clothes for my body type. I figured if I'm having trouble finding clothes for me, being curvy, I know girls with my body type are probably facing the same issue. And so with the help of my designer, I came up with the idea of creating my own clothing line.
I think the thriller aspect of this film [Fifty Shades Darker] is what excited me most.
As a child who loved to read, I had trouble finding honest stories. I felt that adults were always keeping secrets from me, even in the books I was reading.
We had terrible trouble finding a Buttercup because she had to be so beautiful. We had all kinds of pretty girls come in, but they weren't this staggering thing.
I was born on the fairer side, but I've always been fascinated by dusky and dark tones. So, when the makers of my films asked me to go a few shades darker, I didn't think twice. I am not doing anything extraordinary, but I want to break cinematic notions about outwardly appearances.
I don't believe in trouble. Because I think that trouble is sometimes good, sometimes bad. I've been known to be called trouble, which I think is quite a compliment. But I suppose, thinking about it, that my best and worst trouble has always had something to do with a man.
I kind of liked all the creeping stuff [in Fifty Shades Darker], like when they're sleeping and there's me just standing behind the bed. It was great.
I'm not particular about makeup, but when I do wear it, I am partial to Fenty. That is what I own. I own it because it is partial to the various colors and shades of black women. It is one of the best cosmetic companies around as far as trying to remove toxins from makeup, and Rihanna is empathetic to the experiences of trans women.
The problem was Mike Tyson always had trouble with bigger men. Even fighters like Bud Green, “Bonecrusher”, he had trouble with them whether he wanted to or not. He would have had great trouble with Lennox Lewis, particularly since he maximized his shortness by crouching, and he couldn't fight inside so the guy would pick him apart like Buster Douglas.
I've always been attracted to the darker things in life. I was never one to go for light, airy stuff, even as a child. My whole aesthetic has always been one of the darker side. That rings true also in my tastes in music. It's just always something I've gravitated to naturally.
