One of the things that kept me out of trouble was doing something creative - creativity can't be judged.
I don't want to be known as the black model. I want to be recognized as Chanel Iman, a personality.
A good night's sleep is always the best way to wake up and go to work.
My goal is to be a household name, and when I do that, I want to help other girls become models, and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom, like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye, and it's always been a dream of hers.
Five years from now I see myself still working hard to get where I want to be, because I think big.
Accept yourself, love yourself.
I'm my own person, and I want people to know me for who I am.
There are so many separate selves; no one who writes creatively hasn't felt that.
Your guess is as good as mine.
and I've always known it, the way I love a song I hear for the first time, even before I know all the words, the way I love my favorite color, and the way that the train would speed past my bedroom when it was very quiet and I'd feel it in my stomach rushing through me. I love you in a way that I've never felt needed to be said.
Do you really believe in what you said or wrote – in the thing that’s bringing criticism? And if I do believe it, I can withstand anything.
