Gabourey Sidibe Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Gabourey Sidibe:

I didn't want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.

I've grown up with girls that are like Precious. I've grown up with people that are like everyone that I read about in that book. And so years later, when I was given the role, I just felt a huge responsibility to show the reality of that situation and to show that we're not making it up.

Gabourey Sidibe

One of my favorite - well, my favorite, favorite, absolute favorite event to go to is Alfre Woodard has a party that I call the blacktress party. It's, like, black actresses that either have been nominated for an Oscar or should have been, and it sort of is just a night where we all get in a room and we get to celebrate each other.

I certainly used to wish that I was skinny, lighter-skinned, with long, pretty hair. But only because I used to get made fun of for being the absolute opposite. I didn't see all of that stuff as the American Dream. I just wanted to look normal. Now that I'm older, I really do feel like I am a beautiful girl.

One of my personal plights in this business is about playing 'The Sassy Black Girl.'

Gabourey Sidibe

I'm not a big fan of doing what my mother wants me to do, like any daughter.

All my life, people have made fun of the way I speak. I guess because a lot of my vocabulary is made up of things that other people say. I started making fun of them and imitating them and now that's how I speak.

Gabourey Sidibe

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.

Gabourey Sidibe

When it's time to film and to actually take on the role of Precious, I felt an immense responsibility to do it justice.

Gabourey Sidibe

Well, I was a big fan of the book and therein a huge fan of the girl Precious. And so I felt like I knew this girl. I felt like I'd grown up alongside her. I felt like she was in my family. She was my friend and she was like people I didn't want to be friends with.

Gabourey Sidibe

I have a nice smile, pretty lips, and big round cheeks. They help me look like a teenager.

Gabourey Sidibe

It's so weird to turn on a switch and be the role model for all women, for all African-Americans. That doesn't happen that easily. It just doesn't. And so I don't act up in public and I don't do anything weird - because my sisters are watching me, not because the world is watching me.

Gabourey Sidibe

I can flip my tongue over. Only one in 10,000 people can. I learned that at Ripley's Believe It or Not!

Gabourey Sidibe

I have a birthmark on the inside of my left knee that resembles an upside-down sea horse.

Gabourey Sidibe

I learned to love myself, because I sleep with myself every night and I wake up with myself every morning, and if I don't like myself, there's no reason to even live the life.

Gabourey Sidibe

I'm really, really interested in the job of acting. I can really care less about being famous. I'm more about the work, and 'The Big C' was amazing, so I wanted to be a part of it.

Gabourey Sidibe

Precious, she gets hit by life so many different ways and so many times, but she doesn't yield to it. She continues to get up and she continues to struggle for a better life.

Gabourey Sidibe

I used to watch 'Coming to America' every day after school. I have full-on long-running inside jokes with friends and family about different scenes in that movie alone. Also, my brother and I loved 'The Golden Child,' so, yeah: I was a huge fan of Eddie Murphy growing up.

Gabourey Sidibe

I don't fixate on other people's opinions of my body.

Gabourey Sidibe

I didn't want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.

Gabourey Sidibe

I love the way I look. I'm fine with it. And if my body changes, I'll be fine with that.
