“The right person won’t make you feel like you have to change for them or try super hard for them to like you. They will support and accept you for who you are.” GL

“In my creative process, I always start very insecure. I’m like, is this right? How is this landing? Do I feel good about this? I have to live in that insecurity for a bit, and then, as time progresses, I get more confident. And I’m like, you know what? I love this. Then I start to feel more swaggy and confident. Once your soul is cared for, you become everything you need to be. And you can spread that as far and wide as you want to.” ALLURE

“I’ve learned that positive people attract positive people, and if you’re happy with yourself, you become a better person who’s able to live a truthful, authentic life. It requires a lot of patience to deal with hate online. At the end of the day, if people are going on social media to spread hate, then I don’t respect them. So why would I care what they say about me? I knew I wasn’t taking care of myself, and that would have me feeling insecure. Now I don’t have the same anxiety I used to about food and my body. And I’m not putting all my self-worth in my appearance. There’s so much more to life than that.” InSTYLE

“Genuine kindness is probably the sexiest quality anyone can have, but the ability to be vulnerable is also very desirable. When I’m embarrassing myself, that’s probably when I’m having the most fun.” Cosmopolitan

“My bad*** advice is to be you. Be confident in what you have to offer. It’s nice if you want to have role models, but be yourself. That has an integrity about it, an authenticity about it. That is what is necessary. Know your power, know what you can do. I was basically a shy person, believe it or not, so I didn’t really like the spotlight, but I loved the issues.” InSTYLE

“In the moments when you’re face to face with people, you still have to be open. You’re only going to have a human experience if you’re fully in the moment. You try not to have those weird voices in your head that come from traumatic experiences.” InSTYLE

“I wasn’t getting jobs, I wasn’t getting booked, I was told I was too fat or too ugly. You’re living on a risk-reward system, and that can be extremely damaging. It was an uphill battle to believe in myself at all. But I knew I was intelligent, and I knew I wanted to get my education.” People Magazine

“I was building my life around this image of perfection, and it was really oppressive. I was clearly a woman who wanted to talk about truth and empowerment and strength, but when I really looked at myself, I realized that my whole life I’ve kind of been putting on a mask. The path to self-discovery is not a straight line. It’s zigzag. Finally in my early thirties, I moved back toward my true essence. I don’t have to fit in. None of us does. Our uniqueness isn’t a scar, but a beauty mark. I am strong and fierce and brave, no doubt. Yet I’m also someone who has found herself on the bathroom floor; boo-hooing. And I am learning to embrace all of it.” People Magazine
