My goal was just to live a good life that I was happy with. And I wasn't exactly sure that that meant being the star of a movie.

Personally, it’s rude. You got three kids with the lady, she just did 17 years for you and you’re not gonna leave your...whatever!

I didn't want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.

I don't know any teenager with a positive attitude.

I learned to love myself, because I sleep with myself every night and I wake up with myself every morning, and if I don't like myself, there's no reason to even live the life.

My beauty is dark chocolate and it's delicious and it's sweet.

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl.

I live my life because I dare. I dare to show up when everyone else might hide their faces and hide their bodies in shame.

One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body. I got tired of hating myself.

It is not speed that matters, it's persistence.

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. All is riddle, and the key to a riddle is another riddle.

I do think grand gestures are a hit and miss, especially for girls.

If you want to be a writer, you must be in love with the process of writing, whether you achieve financial success or not.

All my life I have struggled to make one authentic gesture.

I steal from every movie ever made.
