My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good enough.

I've always learned how to deal with my problems through my words, through my education, and through my intelligence, which I think is important and the best way to deal with an issue.

I was actually supposed to be a basketball player, not an actress. My parents had me playing basketball on competitive teams when I was in kindergarten. Even though my heart belongs to the arts, I'm a tomboy at heart, too.

I just wanted it to be me.

I want young people to know there is no age limit to when they can start their own business or when they can become a boss.

I was very inspired by working women, and also women who aren't working yet! I want them to have shoes that feel luxurious and special and well-crafted and thought about. But also, they should have shoes that won't break the bank. You don't have to spend three years saving up for beautiful shoes.

I wanted individuals who were clearly themselves and I just got to put some clothes on them, but they basically came done, you know? How they feel comfortable. I just wanted them to walk down the streets of New York and I said, You know what? Don't even pose, just walk and we'll take pictures.

I've always dressed myself, even when I was younger. My parents didn't pick out my clothes or anything. They let me do that, which I think is an important thing because it allows for kids to experiment and figure out what they like, even at a young age.

I have a job that allows me not to look perfect all the time. I can just go looking the way I look, have my hair just any old type of way.
Zendaya
Image
I don't mind if people look at me like I'm crazy. I'm just being me.

Just try. Try to try.

If I want to do something powerful or special, then I contact people I think are smart, educated, inspiring and I'll say, What are you doing? How can I help?

I'm very inspired by a lot of things from the past, from Cher to Diana Ross.
Zendaya
Image
Other than the obvious, like Cher and Diana Ross, I actually find a lot of inspiration from time periods. So it's not necessarily people, it's the essence of the time period, whether it be the '90s or the '70s or the '40s. The specific time and what vibe it gave you, what the emotion of that time was, and trying to get that emotion again.

The best thing is to realize that you are who you are and you gotta work with what you got.

Determination. No matter what field you're in, determination will surely get you to the top.
