We must be able to inspire. That's my goal in acting.

Even when I took first prize, topped the class, won the race, I never really won anything. I was merely avoiding the embarrassment of losing.

I want young people to see me and think you can be feminine and smart and successful, all at the same time.

It sounds so trite, but my private life is mine.

When it’s quiet in my head like this, that’s when the voice doesn’t need to tell me how pathetic I am. I know it in the deepest part of me. When it’s quiet like this, that’s when I truly hate myself.

The theory of objectivism claims that there are certain things that most people in society can agree upon. A model is pretty. A lawyer is smart. Our society is based upon objectivism. It’s how we make rules and why we obey them.

I highly recommend inviting the worst-case scenario into your life.
