I like to be in control of my body. Also, I love getting into character and exploring a different aspect of who I am.

There are two conflicting philosophies that I love: "Everything happens for a reason," as well as "you can change everything that you have control over."

Week-by-week you grow with your character and it's an interesting challenge.

I'm lucky; my parents have never said to me, "You're a kid, so you just don't know." They say, "How can we discuss the world and learn from these events together?"

I feel like there's no need to put on a heel that's too high. There's nothing cute about wobbling. There's nothing cute about not wanting to dance or walk somewhere because you're in pain.

I try to preface everything with "this isn't new." Because most social movements have happened before and I get that. Nothing I'm doing is new.

I really love hip hop. My cousin Nas came out with an album Life Is Good, and I love that album, but I also love Maroon 5.

Integrity, undivided loyalty, love. The pure in heart have a special blessing. Because there is no limit to how good life can become.

Choose the body to live in.

Listen to life, and you will hear the voice of life crying, Be!

Is not our capacity to choose, to chase, to dream of becoming other than we are, more powerful then the patterns of the stars?

But sometimes, things are better to just hear. Some questions better left unasked. Some words better left unsaid. Because saying them doesn’t make you matter any less.

I rarely fly, for environmental reasons more than anything else.

The literal, basic thing of the stage is really like a magnet. It brings me back to earth.

Keep away from books and from men who get their ideas from books, and your own books will always be fresh.

To forget is the great secret of strong creative natures; to forget is the way nature herself who knows no past and who at every hour begins the mysteries of her untiring labors afresh.

Nothing is hidden under the sun.
