When I was 5 years old, my best friends were Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen because we lived across the street from each other.

My high school was a private school where you went to an Ivy League. That's just what was expected of you and nothing less. So I grew up never being okay with a 'B' because a 'B' was not good enough.

Just remembering that they [people with eating disorder] are young, beautiful and unique and that is worth everything in this world.

Hollywood is a challenging place; it's very easy for people to lose their heads. Fortunately, I grew up on it and I think I have a little bit of a head start.

I hate nothing more than having my nails painted. I feel like I'm in time out.

Even when I was young I wanted to be an actress.

Its a very wonderful yet difficult thing to be given a lot of really good opportunities and the world is at your fingertips.

Gratitude is not a virtue I believe in, and to me it seems hypocritical to expect it from a child.

My reflection followed me mercilessly in mirrors, car doors, shop windows. I lived in a world of circus mirrors, the grotesque distortion of my body looking back at me everywhere.

I had never imagined myself, nor aspired to be, a member of a royal family. I wanted to be in the Peace Corps, not a princess!

What has made me successful is the ability to surrender my plans, dreams and goals to a power that's greater than other people and greater than myself.

Astronomy teaches the correct use of the sun and the planets.

We are all of us invented. We are all of us cobbled together from cartilage and dust. Few of us know with certainty the name of our maker. But I do... Bram Stoker.

When you focus on serving, there is no fear in you.

Your cellphone has 10 sensors, and your car has 400. But your body has none - that's going to change.

All gold and silver rather turn to dirt, An 'tis no better reckoned but of these Who worship dirty gods.
