People Win 'oscars', And Then It Seems

I Spent A Lot Of Time With A Crown On My Head.

People Win 'oscars', And Then It Seems Like They Fall Off The Planet. And That's Partly Because A Huge Expectation Walks In The Room And Sits Right Down On Top Of Your Head.

When You Grow Up In That (multi-ethnic) Environment, You See The World Differently. Being A Mixed-race Child, I Didn't Always See Colour In People, I Really Didn't. It Was Other People That Made Me See The Colour All The Time.

I Archive A Lot Of My Clothes And Have Them Wrapped Up And In Boxes. I Call Them 'little Tombs' And Keep Them In A Storage Space... I Would Never Get Rid Of The Dress I Wore On The Night I Won My Oscar. When I Die, Someone Can Have It, But Not A Minute Before!

My Mother Always Said To Me, 'you're Going To Have To Work Harder And Have To Be Better, And You Can't Take No For An Answer'.
