Everybody is going to have an opinion on you; not everyone is going to like you. You can't live your life based on other people's opinions of you or let that change what you do or how you feel about yourself, because then you're not living.
When I was growing up, I had a nanny who would always play 'The Sound of Music' and 'Bye Bye Birdie,' so I was always listening to that stuff.
I have an inner drag queen. Or rather, I feel like I was a drag queen in a past life.
You can't become what you aren't, or you will start feeling awful about yourself.
People would say I looked like a man or something called a 'buttaface', which means everything good but her face, or 'potato head' was the big term that everyone used a lot, basically making fun of the way I looked.
Just in general, no matter what you're doing, be true to yourself. Never let anyone else dictate how you live your life.
I definitely understand not entirely fitting in. I think everyone has their own version of feeling out of place and I think one of the great things we have the ability to do is to know it's all right. It's OK to have that awkward phase.
I have been very, very blessed with not having stage parents.
As you get older, you realise your parents aren't these superheroes. They're actually people.
Fear is such a huge thing that holds us back.
Look, nobody is ever exactly the same as anybody else. You're handed the cards you are for a particular reason, so you follow that path and see where it takes you.
I think if you have any fear or shame, it's really hard to want to express yourself.
I thought I'd lost a pair of earrings once. They were, like, $50,000. I was terrified.
The only place you can really find the confidence and the love for yourself is within you, so that has to be what carries you: not all of these external things.
I would never want the responsibility of being the prettiest girl on screen; it's too much.
Love doesn't care how much money you have. It doesn't care who your parents are. It doesn't care if you're gay, straight, or transgender.
Being stick skinny to the extent where you can see your bones through your skin is not a good look. You don't need to be that to be beautiful or to be perfect or to fit in. Who you are is exactly who you should be. You can't let other people dictate your life or how you feel about yourself because then you're not living.
I've never wanted to just ride on coat tails. I don't know, if you don't earn something then it doesn't feel as good.
My mom had me when she was 25, and I'm 28 now, and just to even imagine myself three years ago starting to have children and be married and have my career, it's pretty trippy, and I'm so proud and kind of in awe of her.
My dad says I was an extra in 'Die Hard.' I think it's true.
