“In high school, I had a much easier time interacting with adults than with my peers.”
“When you grow up with parents that are known worldwide and having so much attention from media and all of the tabloid magazines, it's really tough.”
“The deepest gift you can learn in life is about self-love, and that's not going to happen overnight.”
“I just found such a love for dancing. If anybody would love to just feel great, not just physically, but you want to feel such confidence, just go and take a ballroom dancing class! I love it more than any kind of workout.”
“I would never want the responsibility of being the prettiest girl on screen; it's too much.”
“You can't become what you aren't, or you will start feeling awful about yourself.”
“For a while I thought about studying medicine at school and becoming a doctor because I've always been interested in psychology and how people's minds operate. But I'm able to explore some of that as an actor and ultimately I think it seems more interesting.”
“When I was a teenager, I was super-awkward. I don't think I really felt comfortable in my body or with how I looked, and people were nasty.”
“I've never wanted to just ride on coat tails. I don't know, if you don't earn something then it doesn't feel as good.”

“Being stick skinny to the extent where you can see your bones through your skin is not a good look. You don't need to be that to be beautiful or to be perfect or to fit in.

“My mom had me when she was 25, and I'm 28 now, and just to even imagine myself three years ago starting to have children and be married and have my career, it's pretty trippy, and I'm so proud and kind of in awe of her.”
“Everyone has opportunities and different doors that are opened to them in different ways. In the end, if you're talented you'll get work, if you're not, you won't, so it doesn't really matter who you know.”
“Totally, if I wasn't trying to be an actor, I would leave L.A. because you can't really have that life here. There's a lot of baggage that comes with being here, like the paparazzi, traffic, and all of it.”
“Love doesn't care how much money you have. It doesn't care who your parents are. It doesn't care if you're gay, straight, or transgender.”
“I have been very, very blessed with not having stage parents.”
“If I could find the perfect career of doing television and movies where I could sing, that would be great.”
“I thought I'd lost a pair of earrings once. They were, like, $50,000. I was terrified.”
“I have an inner drag queen. Or rather, I feel like I was a drag queen in a past life.”
