I was just in career doing beauty pageants for the experience, and to show my brains and talent and help break stereotypes. It wasn't like, "Oh, I'll become a star. I'm beautiful." I never thought I was pretty. I couldn't even put on eyelashes or makeup.

Of course, it's lovely to dress up and compliment one another and feel good - but that shouldn't be the very first thing.
