I just feel as though it's become a situation where people have manifested this caricature of who I am, and they act as if there's no real person inside of it.

I feel like the modeling industry is a little bit more accepting of women who make mistakes. They appreciate the idea of icons.

I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well.

My brother Cody is 19. He wants to stay out of the limelight and become a lawyer. I want him to be an entertainment lawyer, so he can help me out!

I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible - but that's what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes.

I always wanted to take the blame. I've always been apologetic for other people's faults.

It's funny because being comedic and happy and lighthearted is who I am as a person, so they're easier emotions for me to connect with. The challenge is accessing pain, angst, depression. . . It's more exciting because it gives me somewhere to go and allows me to tap into a part of myself that everyone can relate to.
