My mom is very confident and she was always a role model of mine.

I like to do a lot of cardio.

The 'believe' tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe.

I used to hate looking in the mirror. I've grown up into myself and now I'm happy with the way I look.

The only way to grow is to challenge yourself.

Don't let anyone, or any rejection, keep you from what you want.

I'm very sassy. I want to show people in my album I'm not like my characters on TV.

I love Christmas, not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season.

I love pink, it's so girly!

I hope to inspire people, influence people.

With every character, I just bring something that I can make my own.

Hope is possible, when you decide to believe that what you are hoping for is possible.

Women are already born so far ahead ability-wise. The day men can give birth, that's when we can start talking about equal rights.

Frankly, I'm mainly telling the story to myself. Thinking about audience is too daunting, and worst case, invites you to homogenize, to soften the hard edges of things.

The place was so British, I wouldn't have been surprised if the mice wore monocles.

People don't dislike change, they dislike being changed.

It was great to play for a live audience on a stage.

The worst part was the silence. Death was supposed to be loud — gunshots, explosions, screams and thunder. Not this eerie quiet that wrapped around me like a shroud.

Loving words and deeds are the best alms.

Be like a tree in pursuit of your cause. Stand firm, grip hard, thrust upward. Bend to the winds of heaven. And learn tranquility.

The best way to be missed when you're gone is to stand for something when you're here.
