What I loved about myself as a teenager is that I didn't know any better to be afraid or to be insecure.

I love how, when you're a teenager, you're really opinionated, you're really right, you can't be wrong, and you don't know any better.

The magic of movie-making is that you get to fulfill your own dreams.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
