I think I'm realizing I've always been able to move people, just getting people to talk.

I'm living life as best I can - but I'm not exempt from failure and making bad choices.

I know myself, and when you start to really know who you are, you don't question it when you read what someone says about you.

The world when I was 13 wasn't truly driven by tabloid magazines and social media and reality shows. I was able to have a little more of a private life.

I should try to be strong, but baby, you're the right kind of wrong.

Even one kid going hungry in America is one too many. How can we stand by when the reality is that there are more than 12 million underfed children in the U.S.? We can make a difference.

Keep on shining, keep on smiling, don't lose faith, and don't lose heart. When you're crying, just keep trying to remind yourself, you're a shining star, yes you are.
