I'm not ashamed to say that I cried at an animation movie

The most important thing you wear is your personality.

I was an open, smiley and gregarious child. I could make friends in 30 seconds wherever I went.

To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that they forget to realize that they have so much more to offer the world.

As a child, I didn't know what I didn't have. I'm thankful for the challenges early on in my life because now I have a perspective on the world and kind of know what's important.

It's so reassuring to have a woman heroine who triumphs with more than just what she has on the outside who has more to offer the world than just a pretty picture.

It would be impossible to be a woman in Western culture and not have your own issues about your image and what you look like.

I'm okay if people don't know who I am, but if you remember my character that would be great.

I am trying to be guided by my passion.

Am I Latin? Am I American? What the hell am I? I love my culture and I'm very proud of my culture

I know that having the perfect body doesn't fix all your problems, or make you love yourself more. To me, it's all about being comfortable in your own skin.

Friendship provides the ideas, tools, comfort, and motivation that nothing else can give or offer.

What you see with your eyes when you're making music is going to have a profound effect on what you hear.

I quit high school the first day of 10th grade because I felt like I was wasting time.

I'm a very modest person.

Most of America don't even listen to music probably. They just go raccoon hunting or something.

I am a fan of a bright sock. They're bold.

I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.

When I was 12, I used to dress as a woman in the house. At the time, cross-dressing was a big taboo in Italy. It was better to have a son who was a drug addict than a cross-dresser.

The writing is so great on TV now; it's such a pleasure to watch.

It was as familiar to me as a song I'd been hearing my whole life, covered by various people but the basic tune the same.
