In my heart I'm independent, a bit of a rebel, a nonconformist.

I find standing and posing for photos very awkward.

The thing you hate about yourself tends to be the thing that everyone likes about you.

Violence against women is an appalling human rights violation. But it is not inevitable. We can put a stop to this.

I believe that as much as you take, you have to give back. It's important not to focus on yourself too much.

Forget the past. You can never predict what the future is going to be. Live for the moment.

Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.

I believe the experiences of life are more important than any film you make.

I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke. I take care of myself. And I'm very proud to say that.

Breathe and don't try to be perfect.

I'm always happy to play the bad girl. I just get to have fun, and it's obviously all done with a smile.

Step out in faith to claim a blessed life.

When we first begin fighting for our dreams, we have no experience and make many mistakes. The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and get up eight times.

You are my drug of choiceI know you’re no good for meAnd though I swear my lipsWill never touch you againHere we are, here we are.

I had a great interest in sports. I had three older brothers who were great athletes. I was not.

I went by myself to Hollywood, I spoke no English, every day I had to go to school.

Even I just listen to some bands on YouTube. I'll think, "Oh, I quite like that, I should buy it someday," but I don't get around to buying half the stuff I liked.

People have allowed me into their homes, through my words and my music.

Sunday, if I'm lucky, I'll go to church or listen to some good spiritual advice on the television or on the radio. I take three or four baths to try to cleanse myself, so I'm fresh for Monday.
