I feel like I pull inspiration from everyone, and I feel like I'm honored and grateful that people feel that they can pull inspiration from me, be inspired by me. But I definitely don't think I'm a role model. I'm not someone to be imitated.

For me, honestly, the term 'role model' means for someone to be imitated, and I don't feel like anyone is to be imitated.

Funnily enough, of course I've always thought B was amazing, but I've never been, like, 'Beyhive status'... until actually meeting her. I would honestly drop anything I'm doing to work for her again. Not just because of who she is but because of my experience with her filming for two days.

I wasn't part of the BeyHive before I met her, but after my experience working with her, meeting her, I'm a die-hard fan.

I feel like I have so many amazing opportunities because of my immigrant mother, my immigrant grandparents.

You think of floating on a rock in space as so alien, but that's exactly what we're doing.

Some rules are there for a reason - but it's one thing to have a rule that protects and another to have rules that stifle.

My skin's not a normal sight.

Even as a little girl, my mom never wanted me to watch BET, but when I was at my grandparents' house, and my older cousins were there and I could watch it, I was infatuated with the idea that I could one day be a DJ or the host of a show.

It's weird to me for people to stare at me, because I feel like I'm normal. I don't see what there is to stare about.
