“I didn’t love school.”

My mother has always been the social glue holding the family together.

You never know what the future holds or where life will take you.

I’m an entrepreneur. ‘Ambitious’ is my middle name.

People don’t understand the pressure on me to look perfect.

Everyone is hurting and nobody wins here, I just pray for peace for everyone involved.

I’m totally not against plastic surgery. I’ve tried Botox before. That’s the only thing that I’ve done.

I’ve always been the type to fall in love fast and, with every boyfriend, I plan out my wedding in my head.

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.

To be in love Is to touch things with a lighter hand. In yourself you stretch, you are well.

Love is so much better when you are not married.

The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?

When you’re rotten about yourself, you become rotten to everyone else, even those you love.

Why should I want to be white? I am a Negro – and beautiful!

I’ll tell you what I love. Sending back bottles of wine that aren’t right in restaurants in France! Whoa! I love the French, but I do find their wine snobbery something unbearable.

Sex isn’t all that important, but it is when you love someone very much.

We must look at ourselves over and over again in order to learn to love, to discover what has kept our hearts closed, and what it means to allow our hearts to open.
