Maybe clothes are a form of creative expression for me. An outlet. Because I don't get to express myself creatively through my official duties.

People sometimes think of 'queen' as a title that's shrouded with protocol and formality, and for that reason sometimes people are not easily saying what they want to say. They're reluctant to express their opinions, and I kind of find that frustrating because I want to know what people really, really think.

We shouldn't judge people through the prism of our own stereotypes.

My role models are people who can do things; I say to myself, 'I wish I could do that.'

Perhaps if we all subscribed to the African concept of Ubuntu - that we all become people through other people, and that we cannot be fully human alone, we could learn a lot. There'd be less hatred and more harmony.
