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 continuehitlife Change image and share on social
One of my personal plights in this business is about playing 'The Sassy Black Girl.' Gabourey Sidibe blackbusinessgirl Change image and share on social
I have a nice smile, pretty lips, and big round cheeks. They help me look like a teenager. Gabourey Sidibe bigcheeklip Change image and share on social
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 000fliplearn Change image and share on social
I love the way I look. I'm fine with it. And if my body changes, I'll be fine with that. Gabourey Sidibe bodyfinelove Change image and share on social
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 actafricanamerican share on social
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 actamazebig Change image and share on social
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.

Being an actress wasn't a plan at all, so what's happened to me is very strange. Life isn't very normal, even though I'm still very much a normal girl. I ride the subway, I ride the bus, and all of that. Gabourey Sidibe actressbusgirl share on social
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.
