I don't really celebrate fame because I get enough attention.

As a child, my whole life was books. They were my fantasy. That's where I could go. That was a lot of times [what] saved me.

I think love is the core emotion. Without that, and I've certainly existed without that, it's a very empty life.

I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'

Well, I can wear heels now.

As a woman now, I want to share things. I have girlfriends in their twenties, and I say, "Ask me anything. You can learn from the things I did wrong, and you can learn from the things you think I'm doing right. Take whatever you want and make it your own."

It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system.
