Fashion was very important to me because I could practice my acting skills, I could practice working with the camera, I could work with amazing photographers. It just gave me a different field of work.

What made my mind go free is that I wanted to become an artist.

I realized what an artist is and what it is to be an artist.

I was very, very inspired [by movies].

I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger, and I don't practice as much as I used to.

Not many people understand that, but if you open yourself to listening - you don't even have to exercise - you get better with time.

As soon as I said to myself, "Oh I'm not a dancer; I'm not an actor," it made me so free to do anything. It made me free to not rush, to not be scared of things and say, "Oh, I have no time," or, "I'm not going to make this or that."
