“I totally wouldn’t mind being able to wave my hand head to toe and have, like, a whole new outfit.”

I like going on location for films.

When something disappointing happened, my mother would remind me not to let that become my focus. There’s still so much to be grateful for.

I’m too lazy and I like food and I like my free time too much to spend it working out!

As women, we have more of a tendency to be people-pleasers, and I know a lot of women who are not vocal about what makes them happy.

The mouthier I got, the more I’d be celebrated.

I like predictability because I know what I’m getting into.

It’s lame to say that I’m a normal girl, but I think I am.

We are all human beings, part of the human race, and we need to be compassionate and giving and kind with one another.

I pride myself on being kind.

Lord, make us mindful of the little things that grow and blossom in these days to make the world beautiful for us.

The light from the oncoming train focuses the mind.
