“My secret is one the world needs to know – nearly a billion people a year die from unsafe drinking water.”

I’d like to help other kids with dyslexia, because I’m dyslexic. It was very hard, and I know that what I went through, other kids are going through.

I don’t have to try to be perfect because I know that my fans like me for who I am. They like me because I am weird and kind of funky, but still really calm.

I’m really into tall boots. I just got some new ones from Michael Kors that have these little gold studs. I have Valentino ones that I really love. Real, real tall boots!

I really love big scarves. I have a whole bunch.

I know that some girls look up to me for certain things, like dyslexia, and that way I know that they like me for me, so it adds no pressure.

I think that everybody needs somebody to really look up to and know that even though you’re going through a tough time, you’ll get over it.

My father is Cuban. Spanish was my first language, but I don’t speak it that much anymore because I had dyslexia, and in school they work with you only in English. But I’m proud to be Latina, and most people don’t know I am.

Dancing inspires my music. Having your girlfriends all together and just being free and happy.

My dream artist to play at prom would be Frank Ocean. “Thinking of You” is one of my favorite songs. He makes really sweet music for slow dancing at the prom.

I never saw myself as a singer; I never really thought I had the voice for it.

I believe that anyone can become better,if you put in the effort.

My dad would call me his Cuban princess because I had really dark olive skin because I was always in the sun; but I don’t really go in the sun anymore, so that is why I am so white.

To me, being Latin is about more than your looks – it’s how you’re brought up.

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

My family was absolutely supportive. I did have a fear of cold reads because of my dyslexia, but my family’s support and reading classes really helped me overcome my fear!

My big break was becoming the spokesperson for Texas Instruments. Casting directors really started giving me a chance to read for projects.

I started drinking Scotch just to be a man.

Writing fulfils an insatiable drive. Finishing the story satisfies my thirst. But I must keep drinking until the story quenches a buyer.

You need to drink the drink, not act drinking the drink. You’ve got to do things and not show them.

Nothing in Nature’s sober found, But an eternal Health goes round. Fill up the Bowl then, fill it high

Reality doesn’t have any preconceived ideas. You’ve got to learn how to smoke the cigarette, not act smoking the cigarette.

There’s a difference between the world ending tomorrow and just drinking and drugging yourself to death.

Smoking dope and hanging up Che’s picture is no more a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps.
