“My family is really proper.”

I started singing before I started tweeting, actually. It was always a passion… I started singing, and then I got into acting. Singing is something I love to do. I feel very confident doing it.

I have three other siblings, so it’s all very equal – even when I get a little cocky, which I usually do. My brother keeps me in a headlock. He says that I’m not a celebrity in this house. I think I’m really chilled out and grounded.

I love playing Eleven.

Working, for me, is like a gift.

My parents are so amazing, and they’ve travelled around the world with me.

It’s nice to have famous people love you.

I’m quite sarcastic, and I’m funny, but not kind of funny. It’s a weird funny, and some people don’t get me, and some people do.

I’m obsessed with working out. I eat like a pig, so it kind of makes up for that.

I could live without my phone. And one thing I’d love to do is experience having the freedom that kids had back in the ’80s.

I feel very lucky. My family and I have worked hard, and I feel very grateful.

My brother’s really well-spoken.

I have two hands: one for me, one for other people.

I am a really great daughter.

I didn’t do school plays… I’ve never done a play in my life, actually. Not even a nativity.

You don’t even realise how much you need Internet, but it really stops you from doing a lot.

With my platform, anyway, I want to try and do good things and want to help people.

I’ve had a lot of people come up to me after shows and tell me that “Dollhouse” really helped them with whatever they were going through with their families. I thought that was really amazing, that it could mean one thing for me but another thing for someone else.

I run my operation like a family business. I sign every check, every receipt, I’m not tough, but I’m strong.

All people have is hope. That’s what brings the next day and whatever that day may bring. A hope grounded in the real world of living, friendship, work, family.

I am a very proud daughter. Obviously to be able to see this transpiring, to watch him achieve so much as a politician – and we’re certainly not a family of politicians, and politics is certainly not our family business – it’s been amazing.

What people don’t understand is joining a gang ain’t bad, it’s cool, it’s fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it’s cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family’s in the gang. We’re not just killing people every night, we’re just hanging out, having a good time.

At one time, due to the reluctance of cult groups to allow members to dialogue with their families and professionals about their involvement (or even to allow families access to a loved one) -“involuntary deprogramming” became the choice of some families as a last resort.

When families observe a later, deeper stage of cult involvement they may find it necessary to consider the involvement of a professional such as myself in an intervention effort.

So like what I want to do is connect all of my albums and make it tell a bigger kind of story. So the first album is very focused on her family life and her love life.
