I'm surrounded by people who care about me and love me. I have a great job. I have wonderful roommates who take care of me. I have a family who adores me.

The world is full of opportunities, and I want to try as many as I possibly can.

I cried myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because men leered and disrespected me.

I haven't sat down and memorized the language of Elvish, and anyone who does that is crazy!

The way I've been able to embrace fame is by realizing that celebrity is just a means to send whatever message you want out into the world.

When I was little, I attended five different elementary schools. My parents are very restless people, which is probably where I get my own nomadic lifestyle from.

I decided I wanted to be a painter, and then that moved into wanting to be an animator. By adolescence, I just wanted it to be something that was important...something that would make a difference in people's lives or leave an imprint in history.
