I never played sports. I wasn't any good at them.

The only time a relationship is good is when you really love them.

The way I become friends with somebody is a slow process. You can't just spill your guts and tell them everything about yourself and expect them to listen and understand you because you don't know them. It's the same thing with a relationship.

I think you have to know how you feel when you're sad and it's healthy to mourn if a relationship ends.

I remember looking through magazines or watching movies even just a couple of years ago and being like, 'I really want to be part of that, ' but not realizing what that was.

I look up to my mom. She's a beautiful woman.

A nutritionist helps me eat healthily at home.

I used to drink tons of caffeine. Now I make smoothies with frozen berries and Green Vibrance health powder.

In this world, everyone wants to know everything about you, and I think that's funny.

I couldn't relate to kid stuff. 'Jimmy doesn't like me!' Who cares? I was worried we didn't have gas money or food. Those were my concerns.

Any fear of aging, I think, is simply vanity.

When I do get free time, I spend a lot of it at home with my family and my close friends and I think that's what keeps me happy, healthy, grounded, and totally in check.

I like to be judged by my family and friends because they know me.

It's wonderful to be in love. And it's definitely wonderful to cuddle and have sex and get to experience life with somebody. But it's OK if you don't find him and you're 24. You can find it someday.

I haven't ever really relied on relationships with guys. They come around and it's cool, but it's never been a big thing. I guess I've just been really distracted by work.

I really like to be able to have variety and to try different things - that's the beauty of fashion.

Singing really is acting. In a lot of ways, it's much more personal. I love music, and being able to work on that is amazing.

I'm a grown woman and sometimes, I might be a little fat, you know? Am I alone there? Not really.

I'm so accustomed to being alone.

I feel more mature than most people my age.
