One of the hardest things was learning that I was worth recovery

My tattoos are reminders to hang in there when things get rough.

After hundreds of auditions and nothing, you're sitting home and wondering, 'What am I doing?'

I have to ask myself, Am I content with calling myself a feminist? Yes, because I speak out.

There needs to be more variety on television so young girls growing up don't feel pressured to look one specific way. Tall, thin, curvy, short, whatever you are, you are beautiful.

I prefer to cry alone, Pride? No. I just want to avoid trial of people who don't know the reason of my tears.

I was judgmental of artists who were exploring their sexuality, and I thought, Why are they doing that? They don't have to. They've got a good voice.
