I live my life because I dare. I dare to show up when everyone else might hide their faces and hide their bodies in shame.

I complain about my life. I used to complain about boys or not being able to drive or failing a test. Now I complain about boys, not being able to drive, and leaving home so much.

The reason why America was built is so that we would have the ability to choose who we pray to, whether we do or don't.

Your body is your temple, it's your home, and you must decorate it.

Being an actress wasn't a plan at all, so what's happened to me is very strange. Life isn't very normal, even though I'm still very much a normal girl. I ride the subway, I ride the bus, and all of that.

Most of my life, I wanted to be a therapist, but then I just decided that I didn't want to be in charge of giving people advice. I want to know everything there is to know about psychology. But a therapist? No.

I don't think my brand of self-confidence and self-assuredness can come from an outside source. It's got to come from me.
