Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe . . . continues to have me in awe.
“In the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar she spoke about her confidence and frustrations with the media.”
On doing the Harper’s Bazaar shoot:
“I feel like a model. It justifies everyone in my life who told me I wouldn’t be anything until I lost weight. It justifies that little girl who cried because she didn’t think she could be in front of the camera. And it’s for other girls who feel like they can’t do this or that and feel like they’re not pretty and not worthy of having their photo taken.”
On her confidence:
“People always ask me, ‘You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?’ It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.”
Ms. Sidibe I always despised the term “Confidence”.
If you lacked certainty in a certain area than you were lacking confidence, however, if you were too assured of yourself then people would merely suggest arrogance.
However, B’wood always knew he possessed certitude + assurance + self-possession which = Confidence like none other.
So perhaps “Confidence” may not be my favorite word of choice. However, I replaced it will “Love” and between me and you … I LOVE ME SOME Gabourey Sidibe!
