I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future.

I posed nude to show my parents they couldn't dictate to me any more - that I control my life.

I think life is a learning lesson within itself. I think you should take the best out of everything that you see and that you encounter and make the best of it.

Listening to soft music and the sound of the ocean is quite relaxing to me.

When you do the first season, you're putting your life out there and you're kind of hesitant about it, and then by the time you get around to the second season, you don't care. It's like, "This is who I am - like it, accept it, or don't." There are so many misconceptions that now they can see who I am.

That's one of the things that I say to myself as far as a ritual that I have every day: "What can I do today to make it better than it was yesterday?"

I think that every day we are taught lessons and sometimes we don't realize or see it.
