There’s always going to be someone who is prettier than you, better than you in some way, but everyone has that something that makes them different.

I have a lot of LGBT friends and family members and I've always supported the community, not only as a child but as an adult, and I think it's important to voice that.

Israel was always on my bucket list, it was always one of those places that you check off and move onto the next place, but I'm never going to check Israel off my list. It's a place I'm always going to want to come back to.

Follow your heart because it always knows.

Children do run from me. And so do some adults.

I've played Latin, I've played Italian. And I've played the all-around regular girl. I think the thing about the way I look, is that I can look like many different things. People sometimes ask me if I'm Russian. I don't think I specifically look like a Puerto Rican or an Italian. Wouldn't you agree?

To be vulnerable, to be raw, to virtually expose your guts, I like doing that.
