I went to an all-boys high school, and they accepted girls in only the two A.P. classes. They had these archaic rules: for example, girls couldn't wear makeup. I found it so outrageous that an all-boys school could tell girls to not wear makeup! So I went on a campaign. I got a petition signed and everything. If a girl wants to wear makeup to boost confidence, why not?

I'm pretty awesome at making salad dressings.

It's only when you risk failure that you discover things. When you play it safe, you're not expressing the utmost of your human experience.

What I've learned from myself is that I don't have to be anybody else. Myself is good enough.

I like people who don't tell you what you want to hear.

[My mother] always said I was beautiful and I finally believed her at some point.

I have a very ostrich mentality. I feel like I have my head in the sand so no one can see me.
