I wanted to be a psychologist. You know, I thought that's what I'd be doing and it just goes to show you that, if you tell God your plans, He will laugh in your face.

More quotes by Gabourey Sidibe
Representation is very important to everyone, but especially to girls like me, and people like me, whether it be because of my body, because of my race, because of my skin color, because of my awkwardness or where I come from.
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.
Gabourey Sidibe
Being an actor is wonderful and it's a lot of fun, but eventually you look old and you can't fit this or that. It's important to have other skills, be able to do other things, and to really learn how this business works and what it thrives on.
Gabourey Sidibe
My beauty is dark chocolate and it's delicious and it's sweet.
Gabourey Sidibe
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.
Gabourey Sidibe
To pray to this God or that God or this religion and that religion or no religion at all, that's the reason why we built America. And that is still very much what we do in this country unless you're brown.
Gabourey Sidibe
I am the only consistent person in my life and so I better like myself, and I better love myself. And I really better know that I'm as beautiful as anyone else.
Gabourey Sidibe
My Plan A was to be a psychologist. I thought I would be a receptionist. I'm always middle of the road and very normal. I've always wanted a normal life, and this is what I got.
Gabourey Sidibe
It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.
Gabourey Sidibe
I love the way I look. I'm fine with it. And if my body changes, I'll be fine with that.
Gabourey Sidibe
When I say a girl like me, I bet you think I'm just talking about being fat. How dare you fat-shame me? You think I'm talking about being black? Racist. What makes you think I'm not talking about being smart? What? You don't think a fat, black girl can be smart or something? Fat-shaming racists like you make me sick.
Gabourey Sidibe
I hate Twitter. I think it's disgusting. It's ridiculous that you as a stranger can type something to me, and I see it. Technology has gone too far.
Gabourey Sidibe
If they hadn’t tried to break me down, I wouldn’t know that I’m unbreakable.
Gabourey Sidibe
I think you think that phone sex is about getting the caller off, but it's about keeping the caller on. It's about leading with your personality and making sure that they're still listening to you and that they're still interested in you because you cannot make money when they hang up.
Gabourey Sidibe
I don't know any teenager with a positive attitude.
Gabourey Sidibe
It's like prom night for Hollywood. I'm really proud of myself for being here.
Gabourey Sidibe
I have a birthmark on the inside of my left knee that resembles an upside-down sea horse.

In the seventh grade, I was about to leave wearing a jumper, when my mom said she could see my panty line. So I just wore stockings. That day I broke my ankle, and the EMS cut my tights off. I got a full cast with no stockings on and no panties.
Gabourey Sidibe
One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body. I got tired of hating myself.
Gabourey Sidibe
I hate yoga so much. Like, if yoga was a person, I'd stab them.
