Then with Lucy [Hale], her little thing that I kind of learned from her is her country music because sheโs obsessed with country and at the beginning, I wasnโt a huge fan of it, but I was listening to some songs that she plays in the hair and makeup room and sheโs also so funny, too. She does these character impersonations and theyโre just so funny. Made up characters of course, but she can switch into someone else so fast. Iโm always laughing at Lucy and sheโs like a little Polly Pocket, you know? The tiny one.
Shay MitchellWhen I was modeling, I had always been told โIf you could lose a couple of inches, youโll work so much more,โ or โYouโll do so much better if you were just a little bit skinnier.' I finally realized that no one is perfect and that I like the fact that I look different and donโt have the perfect body. No one does!
Shay MitchellGrowing up, I wish I hadn't tried so hard to fit in. I'd tell myself to just embrace what you were born with because it's beautiful and you were made like that for a reason. It's tough being a girl. I think we need all of the support we can get.
Shay MitchellI like to take a day of the week and just sort of have an at-home beauty day. I put on different masks.
Shay MitchellI work with a cause called the Somaly Mam Foundation, and that is my purpose in life, above anything else. Everything that I do, I'm thinking about girls. As strong as we are, we're also sensitive, and I feel like men take advantage of that.
Shay MitchellI'm reading a lot of different books, but I always think I have to switch it up a little bit. It's like food - everything in moderation, same with my books, same with my reading. You read books that are good for you and you learn a lot of stuff, then you read 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' which is like candy.
