“I want to be an actor, I am just not very comfortable talking about myself.”

Beauty is more than just shining for others. You don’t need to have the perfect face to be beautiful. Being ugly or beautiful is a matter of energy, and true beauty comes from the heart.

I think it’s ridiculous that you need to look a certain way to be conventionally pretty.

If you respect yourself and you love yourself, that’s the only way anybody else is going to.

Just don’t hold back. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and stuff.

I think what I’ve come to now is, that fear is good; it’s what life is about. You need to be afraid because fear gives you the strength to carry on important tasks.

All I try to do in the press is to be honest about something that I really care about.

There’s no reason to regret anything. Regret is a waste.

I know that people’s judgments are fast, and in a split second I will ruin it.

Hate me for who I am, I don’t care. At least I’m not pretending to be someone I’m not.

Vanity is a silly thing to be obsessed with because, it sounds cliché but it leads you to emptiness; it goes away.

If you are going to make something forever, you should be yourself.

You don’t need to give reasons for the things you do – you just have to do what you want. And sometimes the thing that seems messed up to everyone else is what’s right for you. You have to do it and not be ashamed of it.

Appreciate what you’ve got and follow your heart and you’re all good. Don’t over-complicate things.

I stand by every mistake I’ve ever made, so judge away.

When you love something, you get to know it. Then you feel the ownership and if it changes, you only love it as far as you know it because then you’re like, “What is this?”

I have no idea what I’m doing, and that’s kind of how I love it.

Wanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that.

Being misunderstood is not a bad thing as an actor. I know the truth.

From a very early age, I made my decisions based on careers that I admire. The one thing that all the actresses I love have in common is that they have diversity in their careers.

Any actor who tells you that they have become the people they play, unless they’re clearly diagnosed as a schizophrenic, is bullshitting you.

God is the poet; men are but the actors. The great dramas of earth were written in heaven.

I fell in love with theater there, and after graduation I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

People imagine that actors are being offered everything and you are not. So things come in and sometimes there are things that I want and can’t get a meeting on, or go to a different actors.

Many casting directors won’t hire aspiring actors because you might be burning some chick’s headshot under the table so she doesn’t get the part.
