My mom can't defend herself to the world. She is such an amazing woman, with such an open heart. It's a real hard line, and I crossed it. I took everyone's life story and assumed it would be a great thing to put on screen. I was being selfish and I feel so horrible about it. I feel so guilty.

I think the greatest lesson I have just recently learned is how powerful the mind is, informing our decision making unknowingly.

With girls, friendships are hard because you have to learn to get to a maturity level to love them but not want to be them.

The frenzy of the little-girl culture is something very unique, and I can only say that because I was one. The obsession - I can't really explain it. Everything is heightened to the maximum.

Follow your heart and don't question it, no matter where it tells you to go It will open up a world of experiences you can't even imagine.

My love for animals started before I can remember.

Part of being young is making mistakes.
