The biggest moments of insecurity come when all self-confidence is lost and you feel like people are watching and judging. It should be the opposite. You should feel like the people who are watching care about you. This is something we can try to give each other – the feeling that eyes signal support, not disdain.

It's so much easier to know who you are when there aren't a thousand people telling you who they think you are.

I'm actually graduating early. I got a lot of work done already. Being home schooled, I have had a lot of tutors help me.

I like Kurt Cobain. [He] is like my dream boyfriend.

I'm not acting; I'm not playing me. People forget that their actions make them who they are.

It does get frustrating having the cameras on you all the time, because if you make mistakes, then the whole world knows about it. Like, it's not just your family and friends, it's everyone. Sometimes I'll watch myself on TV and ask myself, What am I doing, I am the biggest geek. My friends will call me and say, "OMG. Have you seen that commercial of you, you look like such a nerd."

You deal. You survive. You grow up and you build a career. And you remember these big/little hardships. They make you human.
