“Look, nobody is ever exactly the same as anybody else. You're handed the cards you are for a particular reason, so you follow that path and see where it takes you.”
“As you get older, you realise your parents aren't these superheroes. They're actually people.”
“Love is the only unifier in the world. We've all felt exactly the same way. It'll make you crazy, and it'll make you ecstatic, and that's true for everyone.”
“My parents always knew that I wanted to act, so it didn't really come as a big surprise. The only thing they told me was that I had to wait until I was 18 so I could get my education out of the way first.”
“I definitely understand not entirely fitting in. I think everyone has their own version of feeling out of place and I think one of the great things we have the ability to do is to know it's all right. It's OK to have that awkward phase.”
“People would say I looked like a man or something called a 'buttaface', which means everything good but her face, or 'potato head' was the big term that everyone used a lot, basically making fun of the way I looked.”
“Everybody is going to have an opinion on you; not everyone is going to like you. You can't live your life based on other people's opinions of you or let that change what you do or how you feel about yourself, because then you're not living.”
“My dad says I was an extra in 'Die Hard.' I think it's true.”
“The only place you can really find the confidence and the love for yourself is within you, so that has to be what carries you: not all of these external things.”
“People have such an immediate judgment of me because I have tattoos or because my hair is sometimes crazy.”
“I grew up, and I was bullied and very insecure. I hope, if nothing else, if I share enough of my struggle and share what I went through and allow myself to be vulnerable, I'll let people see who I am.”
“Education is very important to my parents and to me.”
“Stay true to your integrity, and if you're doing something that you feel like doesn't represent your integrity, speak up. You have to say that. If you're doing something that doesn't make you feel good, you probably shouldn't be doing it.”
“I think if you have any fear or shame, it's really hard to want to express yourself.”
“My sisters are my best friends and such incredible women.”
“Fear is such a huge thing that holds us back.”
“I'm all for the equality.”
