If you're with someone who enjoys having people play hard to get, maybe that's the way you're supposed to do it then.

There's something wildy decadent about the young-star lifestyle, and I just don't really see the point. I got my partying out of my system in college.

There's an obsessive quality to it that I thought I would've grown out of by now. It's an ongoing source of shame for me.

I found it liberating to sing on camera. On stage, you have to indicate having a thought, and the word you are singing must indicate it as well, but on camera, you can have ideas, you can take in all the stimuli that the character would be taking in, there's a freedom you get, and you don't have the obligation to transmit each idea to the back of the house. It felt so much closer to reality for me.

There's no magic bullet; there's no pill that you take that makes everything great and makes you happy all the time. I'm letting go of those expectations, and that's opening me up to moments of transcendent bliss. But I still feel the stress over 'Am I thin enough? Am I too thin? Is my body the right shape?'
