The day I got my first letter from a fan, I felt like I'd been touched by an angel.

I got my first car when I was 16 but I didn't have a license; it was a Ford Escape and I just let it sit there for two years because I enjoyed having my mom drive me.

I'm human, so of course certain things sometimes hurt. I just laugh at it.

I wanted to be like my friends. I hung out with girls who had blue eyes and blond hair and I thought, "I want to look like them!"

You are not defined by an Instagram photo, by a 'Like,' by a comment. That does not define you.

I do not give a damn what I look like, I don't. I wish I could pay attention because Gwen Stefani, say, looks flawless. Of course, when I'm on red carpets, I'm nervous, sweaty, and weird.

I dress like a 30-year-old woman.
