I was 17 when my body started changing, and I worried about what I did wrong. I went through a period where I didn't eat at all. I also had someone who was encouraging me to take diet pills.

Despite my mother saying I have been destined to be an actress my whole life, I remember being the kid who grew up not knowing what I wanted to do with my life.

My style is dependent on my moods, so I feel like it's all over the place.

The minute you feel secure about yourself and own the fact your dreams are honest true, other things fix themselves.

I'm, like, super-clumsy and weird and funny and dorky.
