You have different people who come into your life and they affect you in a way and leave an impact on you. Whether it's projects or friends or directors, it's just an opportunity that people give me.

You can't be afraid of what people are going to say, because you're never going to make everyone happy.

Never look back. If Cinderella had looked back and picked up the shoe she would have never found her prince.

You are not defined by an Instagram photo, by a 'Like,' by a comment. That does not define you.

What makes you different is what makes you beautiful

I may not be perfect, but i'm always me

If you love something, set it free. And if it really loves you, it will find a way to come back.

My perfect guy wears converse, is totally laid back, and doesn't worry about being cool.

I don't really like dressing up. Some people probably think actresses dress up everywhere they go. I'm in sweatpants half the time with my hair in a ponytail.

All the people who knock me down, only inspire me to do better.

I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me

Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought.

No matter how American I become, I'm considered part of the Chinese community by my own family.

If you attack the Clintons publicly, make sure all your friends know that you are not planning suicide, that you're not careless when you drive a car.

The deep hurt is the mirror image of the deep joy that still awaits you.

I don't want to take a pill. Go to Africa, go follow some bushman around. He's being chased by a lion. That's stress. You're not going to find a pygmy on Paxil, I'll tell you that right now.

Whatever else may be said of man, this one thing is clear: He is not what he is capable of being.

I'm childish and silly. Most people tease me because I'm a bit daft.

If you're always at the head of the class, then you're in the wrong class.

For the last half of my life I have had the doubtful benefit of a brother whose literary reputation is much greater than my own.

It's a mistake to dwell too much on the consequences of a piece of work that you're making.
