If I'm not feeling good, I load on jewelry. It gives me energy and makes me feel happy.

I'm superstitious ... but not like wear the same underwear for two weeks superstitious.

I went on countless auditions. I begged my parents until I finally was allowed to be in a theatrical play when I was 13. It was the most important thing in my life

If it's a big hit, fantastic. If it's not, then it's not. I don't worry about my work

The thing we need to work on as a country is our educational system. To me, that is something that our generation needs to be focused on. To make sure that for our next generation, every child - no matter what background, no matter what ethnicity, no matter whether they're whatever gender - that they are all educated to have real equal opportunity. That's number one for me. But I have no question that if it's not our generation that will make sure that that happens that it will be our children's generation.

I auditioned on my own. I tried to make a mark for myself without anybody's help, not even Mom's

The happier I am, the better my skin is. Any woman knows when they are over exerting themselves, whether it is emotionally or physically, you can see it on your face.
