“Someone once told me that I give people space to be themselves, and that made me feel so special. You don’t need anyone’s permission to be who you are. Don’t let people judge. No one else can tell you how to be you.” -GL

Rebel Wilson
“I was making millions of dollars. But then I’d have moments in my personal life I was not valuing myself because of my weight, not having good self-worth, not having kind thoughts. I thought of myself as trash, so I was treating myself as trash. I’ll just eat all that rubbish and junk food and not treat myself with love and kindness and respect. It was about dealing with the emotional issues that caused me to emotionally eat. You cry a lot. Analysis things. It’s really hard to know why you don’t feel worthy. That’s what I’m trying to overcome.” -People
Daisy Edgar-Jones
“Reading is such a great way to develop empathy because you realize we’re all similar. We all feel heartbreak. We all feel grief. I was quite shy, so acting was a chance to do things that me, myself, would be too shy to do. If you are too worried about the outcome, you won’t be able to make bold choices.” -People
Caylee Blosenski
“What I didn’t lose? My passion, dreams and drive or the ability to do things I had always loved doing before my diagnosis. Determination and hard work can truly carry you far, even when something traumatic happens in your life. Whatever hurdles you face on your journey, keep believing in yourself and don’t give up. You will have your back handspring moment and it will get easier from there. I promise.” -GL
Dua Lipa
“The way you see the world is the reflection of what you have built in your life. Think about what hurts you the most and heal it. You have that power. The next chapter of my life is about truly being good with being alone.” -Vogue
Rhea Perlman
“If you’re not confident, pretend to be. It’s still hard for me, but it’s very important to have confidence in yourself. If you don’t, be able to present it, because people want to see people with a bit of power, and it’s hard to do that if you’re shrinking all the time. I did grow up as a very shy person, so that’s been a bit challenging.” -People
Simone Ashley
“I was quite nerdy in school, or maybe innocent, in that I grew up quite slowly until I was about 15 or 16. I wasn’t part of, like, the cool mean girl’s group.” -Elle
Elle Fanning
“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten better with learning how to push the boundaries of my mind, and also to not apologize for my weird thoughts.” -Vanity Fair
Jamie Lee Curtis
“I’ve always tried to be my authentic self. I was a little quirky growing up. I was a bit of a smart aleck, quick to joke. I never thought I was particularly pretty. I certainly have no discernible talents. It’s not like I can sing. I can dance a little bit. But I am very much my own creation. I’ve always felt that my individuality was important.” -People
Emmanuel Acho
“Words have the power to heal and the power to kill. We should choose wisely. You can’t teach yourself something that you have no inherent knowledge of. Distance breeds fear. Racism is in the atmosphere. That’s what people don’t want to admit. But we can’t fix it until we admit it’s there.” -People
