People put too much emphasis on looks.

We all know that looks matter. What most of us don't understand is just how much looks matter and how difficult it is for us to ignore a person's appearance when making a social judgment.

Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.

People have times when they want to go through different looks.

With guys I revere, like Marcus Garvey or Malcolm X, their look is less about style than purpose and the expression of beauty. It wasn't just about being noticed, you know?

I have grown up believing that when an individual excels at what he does, it makes him desirable. I am a living example that lack of conventional good looks shouldn't hinder you from being awesome.

It sounds odd coming from me, but I realize what I say and how I look has a great impact.

I think being the conventional beauty is limiting, so I'm glad I'm not that. If I looked different, I wouldn't have the great opportunities I've had.

I feel people care so much about their appearance - which is important, and I do still care about my appearance, but not that much. There's far more to life than that.

I think that women out there should just be happy with how they look, and they shouldn't really try to conform to any stereotype. Just be happy and, hopefully, healthy.
