“No one’s ever 100 percent proud of every decision that they’ve made.”

I don’t even drink! I can’t stand the taste of alcohol. Every New Year’s Eve I try one drink and every time it makes me feel sick.

I think you have different soulmates throughout your life.

I was raised with a huge Armenian influence, always hearing stories of Armenia, celebrating Armenian holidays.

At the end of the day, being happy being who you are is important.

The last thing my dad said to me before he passed away was, ‘I know you’re gonna be OK. I’m not worried about you’.

There are always going to be ridiculous rumours.

Maybe my fairy tale has a different ending than I dreamed it would. But that’s OK.

If I don’t like something that’s going on in my life, I change it. And I don’t sit and complain about it for a year.

I used to enjoy the spotlight. If I had a day off from filming, I didn’t know what to do.

I am Armenian, so of course I am obsessed with laser hair removal! Arms, bikini, legs, underarms – my entire body is hairless.

I am pretty honest about a lot of things that young girls question, like their body image.

I’m kind of shocked I’m getting a fashion award when I’m naked most of the time.

I’m a little more shy and not comfortable dancing in front of a large crowd.

Holidays are the best. I couldn’t imagine being from a small family.

I had to take that risk for my inner peace and to be happy with myself.

Always surround yourself with people who are smart and ambitious

Women are the centre of the family. It’s the woman who decides what’s eaten in the house, when to have the kids vaccinated; everything that has to do with the children’s health revolves around her.

People who walk away from you without a clear conversation or a willingness to see your heart decided who you were long time ago. Let them go.

You must decide if you are going to rob the world or bless it with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within you.

Making no decision is a decision. To do nothing. And doing nothing always brings you to nowhere.

You become a leader when you decide to be an original and not a copy.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISES whereby to conquer oneself, and order one’s life, without being influenced in one’s decision by any inordinate affection.

In my early years, there were a number of experiences that made me decide I could not afford the luxury of just being an actress. There were a number of issues I wanted to address. And I wanted to use my career as a platform.

Every journey starts with a decision.
