Lupita Nyong'o's quotes

[2014: Academy Award acceptance speech, closing remarks] When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind every child that no matter where you are from, your dreams are valid.
I'm Mexican and Kenyan at the same time. I've seen the quarrels over my nationality, but I'm Kenyan and Mexican at the same time. So again, I am Mexican-Kenyan and I am fascinated by carne asada tacos.
I realize that beauty was not a thing I could acquire or consume. It was something that I just had to be.
My mother taught me that your presentation is an expression of how much you care about yourself and those around you.
My mother taught me that there are more valuable ways to achieve beauty than just through external features. She was focused on compassion and respect, and those are the things that ended up translating to me as beauty.
Beautiful people have many advantages, but so do friendly people...I think beauty is an expression of love.
Go where you are loved. People who see the best in you bring out the best in you.
