It's hard to stay true to yourself and what you want in life when there are so many distractions and so much craziness going on around you.

At first, when I got bad press and people would talk bad about my family or something like that, I would get really upset, but now it's just not worth my energy.

You don't need to push your beliefs onto other people!

People are going to say what they want to say and think what they want to think, and I can't change their minds.

Humans are very complex; I definitely have a new respect for authors that are able to write books nonstop. It's an incredible talent.

There definitely was a time when I was pretty obsessed with my weight, but I'm better off not stressing about my body all the time.

I knew I wanted to act, and I was really driven, so I kept going for it. We moved to L.A. full-time when I was 8 or 9.
