I'm trying to find my own version of what makes me feel beautiful.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Self-care of all kinds is a huge part of my life. I really encourage other women and other people to really put self-care - and that includes the beauty regime, how you eat, all of that - into your body.

I was recently watching Rihanna on the Billboard awards, and I was like, My God, she's incredible! And then I looked up her age [28]. She's always been talented. She's always been a star. But when you see her, she's becoming herself. It's age that happens. That's what I respond to.

My mom would leave her job, and there would be throngs of people screaming and banging on our car. I come from a very private family, but I was born into a public family.
Tracee Ellis Ross
I don't really talk about my personal life. It's a strange and funny and weird thing. Sometimes you have a conversation with someone and the paparazzi snaps a picture of you and people decide you're dating. If I try to answer everything people say, I would be up all night.

I wanted Bow's hair and makeup and clothing to look like a woman who has four children, a career, and a full life. For example, she won't wear eyeshadow unless she's going out. Because it takes a lot of time to put eyeshadow on. She's a woman who has style, but it's all about functionality - she grabs stuff from her closet.

I was cast in a movie [originally] called Mr. Spreckman's Boat, starring Marcia Gay Harden and Jennifer Connelly. I felt like an actress. Both of them have won Oscars - maybe that means I might one day.
Tracee Ellis Ross
I just want to say this. I love being a woman. I love playing a woman. I love being a whole and full woman. I am more than my parts, and we all are. And we all, as women, need to continue to change our gaze from how we are seen to how we are seeing. We are full and beautiful women, and let us live in that.
Tracee Ellis Ross
There is a way to be a woman, ask for what we deserve and be able to negotiate.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Sometimes I feel like art is supposed to mirror life, but strangely it's as if art is trying to catch up to life, to a certain extent?
Tracee Ellis Ross
If I'm going to show cleavage or chest then I don't show leg. I show one thing. If I show leg then everything else is covered up.
Tracee Ellis Ross
There are a ton of foods that are great for you, that's like an indulgence.
Tracee Ellis Ross
The clothing, the makeup, the freedom of expression in [the models'] bodies. It was Linda and Christy and Naomi at the time. So I modeled before college.
Tracee Ellis Ross
I've always been a curious thinker. And now, as an adult, I can articulate it.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Differences in experience, points of view and opinions aren't what pulls us apart. It's what pulls us together.
Tracee Ellis Ross
I was spoiled when I worked in the magazine world. Fashion closets are heaven and I seem to model my organization after a fashion closet.
Tracee Ellis Ross
When I'm not working, I spend a lot of time on my hair. When it's time for my hair to get some rest, I either wear it in a ponytail, bun or my favorite milkmaid braid.
Tracee Ellis Ross
I never heard my mom say, Not now, I'm busy. But I did have extraordinary experiences that I'm very aware were extraordinary. I mean, I traveled Europe before I was 12 years old, had been to the White House numerous times. Andy Warhol photographed me Michael Jackson called our house.
Tracee Ellis Ross
This is a couple that actually loves, respects & appreciates each other.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Just embrace your hair! I really feel like I am not an advocate for people doing what I do. I'm an advocate for people discovering and finding what works for them.
