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.

People initially think I'm a snob because I'm intensely private.

I think my style is very eclectic, because I love so many different things. And, that's true, too, in almost every aspect of my life. I can go from really edgy to tailored and professional, and I just love to change things up.

I am so glad that I get to maintain a relatively down-to-earth lifestyle.

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.

I adore having people over to my home. My number one reason I love that is because I love to see people at ease with each other.

I just don't think that a lot of the time the messages we send kids prepare them for real life.
