More From Tracee Ellis Ross

Perez hilton is brilliant to me. because he’s taken something that people don’t think is valid, don’t think is important, and he’s made them obsessed with it. people are obsessed with him. they’re obsessed with his site, they’re obsessed with what he does. they love him. they all love him. they love you, they hate you, what you don’t want is indifference. the day that i put a record out that nobody says a damn thing about, that’s bad.

The first thing, the very very first thing, "find out what your greatest characteristic is, your greatest undoing, your central characteristic of unconsciousness." each one's is different. somebody is sex-obsessed. in a country like india, where for centuries sex has been repressed, that has become almost a universal characteristic; everybody is obsessed with sex. somebody is obsessed with anger, and somebody else is obsessed with greed. you have to watch which is your basic obsession.

You don't comb the mirror, you comb your own hair and the mirror changes.

I really had a rough time in middle school. middle school to me was the way most people explain high school. then in high school i had a blast. i basically did everything that you would do in high school or in college, so it really wasn't a difficult thing to pull out.

Teenage girls, please don’t worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old tennessee williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. what i’ve noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. for us overlooked kids, it’s so wonderfully fair.

I naturally own a lot of very old magazines. and i enjoy going to old magazines because the advertisements in those magazines tended to have thousands of words of copy in them.

I just loved storytelling. that's what i thought i would end up doing. i thought i would probably go to school and end up writing for a magazine or something.

I've no wish to appear in celebrity magazines.

All the magazines contradict each other because it is so diverse. know what you like, know what looks good on you and keep doing it, no reason to chase trends.

If you look at all the pictures of women in magazines, everybody's got a forehead that looks like a billboard. completely blank.
