If you're picking your best friend based on what kind of clothes she wears or how popular she is, chances are you aren't going to stay in touch after graduation.

I just always loved to perform and I was lucky enough to be in front of the right people at the right time!

Taking away from someone else will never make you any better.

I encourage all of you to seek out teachers and mentors that challenge you to think for yourself and guide you to find your own voice.

I want to speak up and tell you that mascara and clothes don't make you cool, neither do name-brand handbags, but being a leader can.

When I was 12, I first made the decision to go vegetarian after a co-star's line 'I don't eat anything with a face' suddenly shocked me into reality.

The biggest ingredient in a best friend is someone whose actions you respect and who you can truly be yourself around.
