My mission is to give girls the tools to be able to blossom into their best selves.

I'd love to play a rock star in a movie, but for now, I'm not performing in public.

Girls' inner critics are starting to reveal themselves at a younger and younger age. And body image issues are an aspect of their lives which is causing them low self esteem and day-to-day suffering.

No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' After seeing it, I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the 'Maniac' thing.

I needed to find my own worth and shake the image after having done 'Showgirls' at age 21.

We're not excusing the ones who are mean, but I want girls to understand the psychology. It's not in everyone. But the bully needs to put this pain somewhere.

I tell girls, 'If you're tall and feel too tall, the answer is to be taller.'
