“I am willing to be my biggest, bestest, most powerful self.”

Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do or achieve. Do what you want to do and be who you want to be.

I always keep cards people send me. I have a whole wall covered with them.

Gender equality, historically has been predominantly a women’s movement for women.

I’m a multidimensional person and that’s the freedom of fashion: that you’re able to reinvent yourself through how you dress and how you cut your hair or whatever.

It’s not the absence of fear. It’s overcoming it. Sometimes you’ve got to blast through and have faith.

Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like, I promise.

What gets scary is when your self-worth is tied up in what strangers think of you.

As an actress I take roles I find interesting.
