My greatest vanity is my skin. It is the colour of gingerbread and, thanks to my mother’s genes, smooth and mostly blemish-free.
I’m not one that believes that affirmative action should be based on one’s skin color or one’s gender, I think it should be done based on one’s need, because I think if you are from a poor white community, I think that poor white kid needs a scholarship just as badly as a poor black kid.
When I’m doing sports, I don’t feel anything at all. I enjoy the moment. It’s a safe haven. But once you try to let someone inside your soul, you become vulnerable. You have to be comfortable in your own skin. I don’t open myself up like that to a lot of people. It takes courage.
There’s nothing sexy about skin and bone. You gotta have some junk in the trunk.
Bosnia is under my skin. It’s the place you cannot leave behind. I was obsessed by the nightmare of it all; there was this sense of guilt, and an anger that has become something much deeper over these last years.
Men should be judged not by their tint of skin, the gods they serve, the vintage they drink, nor by the way they fight, or love, or sin, but by the quality of the thought they think.
Dressed in the lion’s skin, the ass spread terror far and wide.
Our skin colours may vary, but what’s upstairs – there’s certain things we’ve all got in common.
It is important to me to take care of my skin. In general I don’t like to wear foundation; I’m not a fan of the look. I like my skin fresh and natural enough so my freckles show through.
I don’t wear bright orange clothes or leopard skin boots, but it was really good fun to play someone that does and have an excuse too!
I think this industry can be tough on everyone. You have to surround yourself with supportive people and know when to put your foot down and do what’s best for you and your family. The first few years in the music industry can be a steep learning curve, and I’ve definitely developed a thicker skin!
I cannot put this poison on my skin. I do not use anything synthetic.

Gold looks good on my skin, and gold looks good on black people, I think.
I’m trying to eliminate every vestige of my own personality, style, approach and get into somebody else’s skin. Sometimes I feel I’ve accomplished it. But when I don’t, I’m nobody at all, having left myself at home.
My mother taught me to cleanse, tone, and moisturize twice a day, so I always do that – I could be partying or working late, but I’m never too tired to take care of my skin.
Not getting girls is the story of my life. I have always had a bit of a tough time with the ladies. I don’t know whether it’s that I don’t have game or just don’t feel comfortable in my own skin, but females pick up on that.
When you’re doing a play that’s fully produced, you have the benefit of rehearsing for four or five weeks, so you really get to live in the skin of the character for much longer than when you first start doing a character on TV.
One must know the so-called ‘lesson of a downpour.’ A man, caught in a sudden rain en route, dashes along the road not to get wet or drenched. Once one takes it for granted that in rain he naturally gets wet, he can be in a tranquil frame of mind even when soaked to the skin. This lesson applies to everything.
Sometimes, especially when it’s cold, I get dry skin, so I scratch a lot. I scratch my arms incessantly.
I’m an actress, I live in L.A., I work in Hollywood. But I’ve learned that if you’re too skinny, they’ll say something about it. If you’re not skinny enough, they’ll say something about it. I just try to feel good in my own skin as much as I can.
The sun sucks. I used to love the sun, but now I hate it because it just wants to kill everything. I always tell everyone, if you don’t want to do skin care, fine, but at least put sunscreen on. The reason why we have little freckles, skin cancer, and wrinkles is because of the sun.
There’s one disturbing notion throughout India that light skin is more attractive than dark.
Death consists, indeed, in a repeated process of unrobing, or unsheathing. The immortal part of man shakes off from itself, one after the other, its outer casings, and – as the snake from its skin, the butterfly from its chrysalis – emerges from one after another, passing into a higher state of consciousness.
The only difference between me and those other great Yankees is my skin color.
Later on in my life, it became a big theme: just being okay and comfortable to take the risk and to have really thick skin and realize not everybody is going to love your product. Get over it, and if you believe in it, keep going forward.
I love Dior products. They have this Capture Totale One Essential Skin Boosting Super Serum that gives you fresh, glowing, dewy skin.
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
I like to be loved by my children, and I quite like the ‘Guardian’ hating me. I like it when I read they want me to die painfully. Then I think I’ve really got under their skin. It’s like annoying a teacher. Once they’ve shown signs of weakness, you really can go for them.
I’m confident – confident in my skin, and I’m cool with my flaws and all that stuff.
I have a little bit of PTSD when I hear a big bang or a loud noise or keys – I jump out of my skin.
I had my shortcomings – crazy hair, braces, bad skin and all that stuff. I went through it all.
Extreme Makeover… they help people that are uncomfortable in their own skin. They really change lives.
I’m very accepting with my age. It’s like notches on your belt: experience, wisdom, and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you’ve become comfortable in your skin.
I got the script for ‘Real Steel.’ I started reading and saw that it was about robot boxing, and I was immediately turned off. It’s not my thing. But I continued on, and by the time I got to the end of the script, I had chicken skin and tears in my eyes. I thought, ‘Man, we don’t make movies like this anymore.’
I really believe less is more. When you get older, too much makeup can be ageing, and when you’re young, you should enjoy the fact your skin is free from lines and wrinkles rather than overloading it with products.
I’m quite British; I’ve got big, flat feet, and I can’t wear heels. I’ve got very, very pale Celtic skin, so my legs are always a frightening blue color. So when you take out clothes that reveal your legs, shoes that have any kind of heel, no shop will actually take my money.
I’m mildly obsessed with skin care. I do a lot of masks at home, like Elisha Coy’s Korean Collagen masks. I also use an embarrassingly wide variety of facial creams.
I do take care of myself; I get my nails done, and I have a skin doctor, but that’s it. I’m clean and groomed.
I’m not the classic type – fair skin, very beautiful women of a classic type, I’m talking about now.
Melanoma is not the most common of skin cancers, but it is the most dangerous if not found in the early stages.
I knew exactly what I was, and there was no hang-up with me. None whatsoever. The fact that the pigment of my skin maybe being lighter brown than other people of my race, maybe some of them, but you know our race has all colors.
Reading reviews makes you thin-skinned. It’s like waves washing layers off your skin.
There’s so much plastic in this culture that vinyl leopard skin is becoming an endangered synthetic.
If you could find a way to peel back the skin of this world so to speak, would you really see this supernatural reality that is greater? Is it true that we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers? Every young person wants to know.
Overall my race hasn’t been a problem. I’m a Black artist with White skin. At the end of the day you have to sing what’s in your own soul.
I think a perfect-color scarf really brings out your whole skin tone, lip color, and everything else.
The mania is like wasps under the skin, like my head’s going to explode with ideas.
The main part of the house is a deep red and I have butterscotch carpet. And I have a bathroom with leopard skin floor, wallpaper and toilet.

If you don’t look at my skin color and we just go play basketball, you’re not going to say I’m a white kid that can just shoot.
In China, we don’t consider someone truly beautiful until we have known them for a long time, and we know what’s underneath the skin.
Red, electric blue – the only color I don’t wear is green, which I still don’t wear. I wear certain color greens, but I have such yellow skin so I always like to wear bold colors.
There’s something magical about a woman who feels comfortable in her own skin.
The football field was a place where I could express myself and just be me. Play the game as well as you can and that’s what you’re judged on. Not the colour of your skin, or your beliefs, or the conversation you have around racism.
