I am a woman of theatre, I'm a librarian of theatre and I love all different kinds of music and all different kinds of expressions.

I was called really horrible, profane names very loudly in front of huge crowds of people, and my schoolwork suffered at one point.

In fact, my courage and my bravery at a young age was the thing I was bullied for, a kind of 'Who do you think you are?'

Depression doesn't take away your talents - it just makes them harder to find.

Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside.

If you are not being bullied all I would say - cause I like to talk about the other side of it as well - is you know, be someone that nurtures, and if there's someone in your class that maybe doesn't have a lot of friends, be the person that sits with them in the cafeteria sometimes; be the bigger person.

Don't judge anyone but don't trust anyone.
