For a while I thought about studying medicine at school and becoming a doctor because I've always been interested in psychology and how people's minds operate. But I'm able to explore some of that as an actor and ultimately I think it seems more interesting.
My parents always knew that I wanted to act, so it didn't really come as a big surprise. The only thing they told me was that I had to wait until I was 18 so I could get my education out of the way first.
Education is very important to my parents and to me.
Everyone has opportunities and different doors that are opened to them in different ways. In the end, if you're talented you'll get work, if you're not, you won't, so it doesn't really matter who you know.
The deepest gift you can learn in life is about self-love, and that's not going to happen overnight.
I grew up, and I was bullied and very insecure. I hope, if nothing else, if I share enough of my struggle and share what I went through and allow myself to be vulnerable, I'll let people see who I am.
If I could find the perfect career of doing television and movies where I could sing, that would be great.
Stay true to your integrity, and if you're doing something that you feel like doesn't represent your integrity, speak up. You have to say that. If you're doing something that doesn't make you feel good, you probably shouldn't be doing it.
People have such an immediate judgment of me because I have tattoos or because my hair is sometimes crazy.
In high school, I had a much easier time interacting with adults than with my peers.
My sisters are my best friends and such incredible women.
Totally, if I wasn't trying to be an actor, I would leave L.A. because you can't really have that life here. There's a lot of baggage that comes with being here, like the paparazzi, traffic, and all of it.
I'm all for the equality.
When you grow up with parents that are known worldwide and having so much attention from media and all of the tabloid magazines, it's really tough.
When I was a teenager, I was super-awkward. I don't think I really felt comfortable in my body or with how I looked, and people were nasty.
I just found such a love for dancing. If anybody would love to just feel great, not just physically, but you want to feel such confidence, just go and take a ballroom dancing class! I love it more than any kind of workout.
Love is the only unifier in the world. We've all felt exactly the same way. It'll make you crazy, and it'll make you ecstatic, and that's true for everyone.
