“I’m a big reader, and I’m really big on investigating myself, who I really am. What brings me peace is when I get very still and get in alignment with myself. In that space, I feel like everything is okay. I’m trying to not operate out of fear anymore. I spent a lot of time in fear, so I’m just trying to operate and trust. I feel more clear on who I am and what I want.” People Magazine

“When you feel bad about yourself, go and give to others, I feel really strongly that this is a big moment to say ‘Nobody is alone.’ ‘Then you anchor yourself. I felt really strange this morning. I was out of control in my head. I was tired The first thing is to be really honest: ‘How do I feel right this second?’ Once you work out how you feel, you realize you must shine light on it. Then you anchor yourself. So I went and did an hour of step-ups. Just on the staircase. I didn’t go to the gym. I didn’t put on my leotard. And I watch Little House on the Prairie for the escapism. I got my heartbeat going. Then I rang a friend. Then the next thing is to realize that everyone else has insecurities too.”  People

“Living in a foreign country taught me as an adult to ask questions and be inquisitive about why I feel like I don’t fit in, and where should I fit in? Where do I want to be? It gave me a sense of needing to find my place and figure out who I was. I guess I learned to anchor myself in my personality and the essence of who I was, rather than attaching myself to an external structure. I was always quite shy growing up. I remember choosing clothes and then second-guessing myself, saying ‘Oh no, it’s too this or it’s too that or it’s too sexy, or you’re not giving off the right impression.’ And I realized that for a long time, I was using fashion to hide aspects of myself, and now I don’t care. I want to express myself in the way I want to express myself. I always thought you had to have one style, and I could never do that. One minute I was a tomboy, then I was super elegant, everyday was different. And now I fully embrace that I enjoy fashion much more.” ELLE

“Life has valleys and peaks, and so many things are always challenging. But I’m always working towards becoming a better me. As you hit puberty, people start looking at you in a different way. And people can be mean. I dealt with all of that. I said, ‘Dana you’re either going to hate yourself or you’re going to love yourself.’ And I decided at that moment I’m going to love myself.” People Magazine

“In the beginning of my career, I was so worried about messing up that I missed a lot of great moments because I was so stressed out. I’m at a point in my life now where I know having a first time at something is remarkable like that it’s the only time it ever happens. And being in a place where I could enjoy it felt like a really positive development. I have worked too hard in seeing myself with kinder eyes to give away my peace to those who haven’t found it for themselves yet. So I do my best to not be afraid of what others might say and just focus on enjoying my life.” ELLE Magazine

“If I could delete social media, I would. You’ve got to be able to manage the impact that it’s having on you and realize how much time you’re spending on it or what it’s done to your brain because it’s scary how addictive it can be. I just want to be a well-rounded human and learn as much as I can about the world around me so that, possibly, I can contribute my voice or help create some change in areas of the world that need it. I never want my life to be appearance based. I truly want it to be just feeling-based. I think getting older will be less and less about trying to look a certain way and more about what makes me happy at the end of the day. I want to feel like I’m taking care of my body and giving it what it needs. Learning to give myself a break and relax, that’s what I need to learn how to do. How to stop thinking so much about what I look like at times because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. That’s not what life should ever be about. We’re on this planet for such a small blip of time and I just want to make sure it’s a good time at that.” allure
