But I just don't think it's an abyss of nothingness [after death] and that we fall off and that our journey stops. I think it's circular and we go and we go and we go. I know that there are civilizations that I think are way more sophisticated than we are and I think more sophisticated civilizations lived before us.

I always had to prove myself through my actions. Be a cheerleader. Be class president. Be the editor of the newspaper.

I no longer scramble blindly through hardship. I no longer emerge from a bad time feeling relieved just to have survived. Instead of despairing, I try to find the lesson within the experience.

I love a character that gives me a chance to grow and do something different.

I'm not done with love, but I refuse to settle.

To make lips look naturally pink, I put on red lipstick, wipe it off, and then apply clear gloss.

Facials are my biggest beauty indulgence. Looking good is about having a good base. It's about taking care of your skin.
