“To be honest, I never really considered myself to be too much of an actress. So, whenever I get the chance to do music, I’m always, like, just in it. It’s like, ‘Oh my God, I finally get to do this. I’m so happy.’”

I love ripped jeans! They are flattering. I’m very petite, so I think they make my butt look lovely.

I don’t really believe in any fashion rules. I think fashion is a form of self-expression, wear whatever you want.

Don’t ever doubt yourselves or waste a second of your life. It’s too short, and you’re too special.

If anything, we should feel sorry for the people who want us to feel bad about ourselves, because they are the ones struggling for approval.

I’ve dreamed about doing music since I was three or four years old.

Love is one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.

Never give up on something you love.

I just love to shop. If I could, I would shop every single day in every single store and spend all of my money which, you know, I do anyway.

I think it’s so important for girls to love themselves and to treat their bodies respectfully.

I’m not going to do anything crazy, but I want to do music that I’m passionate about.

You don’t have to have much to show how much you care.

Meditation is a great way to keep my body well-centered while juggling shooting schedules and recording sessions.

Don’t take everything so seriously. And just be happier.

Everyone is beautiful, everyone is perfect and everyone is lovely.

There’s always going to be someone who doesn’t like you.

The best fashion advice I’d say would be just to do what makes you comfortable and what makes you feel cute, and that’s how you’re gonna look your best ’cause when you feel your best, everybody else can feel it, too.

To function as an actress, I have to be in love. I have to have that incentive to work.

There is no model, no actress, no Miss America contender that can outshine a happy, confident, secure woman.

Frankly, we actresses are so much in a hurry. We feel we have very few years to shine in our career, so we neglect our personal life. But for me, both aspects are equally important. I don’t want to grow old and have regrets.

I started out as a lousy actress and have remained one.

There is a huge gap between the remuneration of an actor and actress.

The industry looks for white actors and actresses, but it’s not the same for black actors. We have to really put the work in.

As an actress I take roles I find interesting.

Dreaming about being an actress is more exciting than being one.
