“Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are.”

I’ve always had an aversion to looking sexy, but I’ve grown out of it.

I always say every single moment that has led me to this moment has made me who I am.

I don’t expect to seem cool to everyone; nor do I want to be. I think that’s the opposite of the definition of cool. So I don’t care at all.

Hateful, racist and ignorant remarks. When I hear people criticize without knowing the context, it makes me boil inside.

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

I know who I am. I have a very strong sense of self.

This weird thing happens when you’re in a movie that has some level of success. People start offering you all kinds of things, and they just expect you to do them because they’ll be good for your career. It’s not about the project’s integrity or anything like that.

I don’t believe in censorship.

One of the greatest struggles of becoming an adult is figuring out what you want to do and what makes you happy. The courageous thing is to stick with it and see it through and see if you were correct.

I think we want to be around people that kind of push us and inspire us and maybe teach us.

If you follow your heart, you’re never going to regret anything, even if you completely mess up constantly.

There’s no way to be prepared for a conversation with someone you don’t know about something that means the world to you.

If you didn’t have anxiety, then you wouldn’t have passion for anything. The reason we have anxiety is because you care and you’re thoughtful.

I think romance is anything honest. As long as it’s honest, it’s so disarming.

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.

I no longer listen to what people say, I just watch what they do. Behavior never lies.

If I were invited to a dinner party with my characters, I wouldn’t show up.

The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it.

To express oneself badly is not only faulty as far as the language goes, but does some harm to the soul.

What you’re thinking is what you’re becoming.

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.

The best of man is he who blushes when you praise him and remains silent when you defame him.

We know what we are, but not what we may be.
