“I like clean-cut, very proper, very elegant looks.”

I don’t think people realize how much work it takes to make an album.

I always finish off my look with a spritz of Vera Wang Pink Princess.

I like “As Long As You Love Me” and “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber. It gets you moving – you just can’t help it! And “Teach Me How to Dougie” gets Zendaya and I every time.

Partying at a club is very different than when I’m throwing a party at my house. My party’s a rage. People rage when they come to my house.

Start going to bed earlier! It is a tough adjustment when you have had a summer of staying up late and waking up late.

Music is a big part of my life. I listen to different genres, and I choose the music that will inspire the next part of my story.

I’m always on Instagram! I’m like an Instagram stalker.

My makeup artist, Tonya Brewer, taught me the importance of moisturizing daily. Hydration is a must if you want pretty, dewy skin – which I love.

I’m a relationship girl, I like relationships, so I just miss being in one and chilling. And not dating.

Maria Canals-Barrera is Cuban and from Miami and I’m part Cuban and from Miami, so needless to say she became a quick friend.

I personally don’t think you can love two things like dancing and singing the same exact amount. There is always one that you like more, and that is most likely the one that you’re better at, because you try harder in it.

I love Michael Kors! I also love Miu Miu shoes – they’re fabulous, I have so many pairs.

I love pointy nails! A cute way to add a pop of color to your nails is to make a V-shape at the ends of them in a pastel color.

I feel like girls always deserve flowers; it’s just a nice thing to do. If you want to make your girlfriend smile, send her flowers!

I don’t want to be that girl who has that same style all the time where the music always sounds exactly the same, and you always know it’s her.

I practice reading all the time. I read everything and having so many scripts to read, which really helps out as well.

At a time when it was very brave to do because Ataturk was cutting off the heads of the imams. And people thought that that was foolhardy of my father.

China didn’t want to lose the cutting edge of technology. So the idea of having a Sina Weibo was an attempt to compete with Twitter. However, it has no soul – which is freedom of expression. Nevertheless,

My father was a very religious person. And he prayed five times a day. And he did that throughout his relationship with Ataturk.

I have always had strong maternal instincts.

I was nineteen and I put a bowl on and I said, Cut around! Because it was not the fashion at the time when I did that hairdo – and I kept it all my life!

There is something fearfully strengthening about cutting free even if the ties bandage the heart itself.

In [family snapshots] the flow of profane time has been stopped and a sacred interval of self-conscious revelation has been cut from it by the edge of the picture frame and the light of the sun or the flash.

A decade of cutting away dead flesh, cauterizing old scars ripped open over and over and still it is not enough.
