I had very, very bad self-esteem - that I was a fake, everybody was going to find out, that I didn't deserve to have success, just about my looks and really, really bad self-esteem.

If you risk nothing, then you risk everything.

Archers are pretty focused.

Archery is something that I took up later and didn't know I had a natural aptitude for.

Kids need to see entertainment where females are valued as much as males.

So much of the habitat destruction and pollution is based on the simple principle that we somehow have been given free license over other species to degrade the planet.

Easy things should be easy, and hard things should be possible.

I don't go to a lot of parties or do a lot of going out within, like, the Hollywood circle or celebrity-type circles and things like that.
