My stepdad provided me with an amazing childhood. I played outside like a normal kid, I rode my bike, I walked to school, but the happiest times were when I was acting.

The high that I got from helping people and being around the love was better than any other high I've gotten from any drug

Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no.'

My tattoos say "Stay strong." "Stay" on one wrist and "strong" on the other. I'm able to look at them and be thankful for being alive.

You have to stay strong when it gets tough.

You can be the most beautiful woman in the world and see yourself as hideous. You must love yourself. To look in the mirror and tell yourself that you're a rock star.

Do what makes you happy, and don't care what others think.
