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’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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote

I have a nice smile, pretty lips, and big round cheeks. They help me look like a teenager. Gabourey Sidibe Read Quote
While ‘Precious’ isn’t a real person, it’s someone’s story, and it’s too many peoples’ story. Gabourey Sidibe Read Quote
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 Read Quote
