Not caring more about what other people think than what you think. That's freedom.

Some of my lowest points were the most exciting opportunities to push through to be a better person.

Being an actress in Hollywood and being a celebrity tend to feed into one another, but just being a celebrity wouldn't really be interesting to me.

I know I have an eccentric, obsessive-compulsive side.

I think of myself as still being about five. Maybe that's why my Twitter picture is of me at five. That's how I feel. I'm honored if I can inspire somebody else. I'm just still trying to figure it all out about myself.

Unwillingness to risk failure is always there, but it gets harder when you feel you have more to lose.

I try to focus on the present, what I'm doing now. I feel like the best design I can have is an awareness of where I've come from so that I don't repeat myself. Luckily, my work provides me with a tremendous source of new opportunities.
