I've tried it, and I've never been that girl. I'm always going to be the girl you want to take home to your parents, not for the night.

I wanted to be like my friends. I hung out with girls who had blue eyes and blond hair and I thought, 'I want to look like them!'

I feel like there's a moment, in every young girl's life, whether it happens with your family, or a tragedy or death in your family, or a relationship, where there's a turning point where you go from extremely hopeful and cheery to wondering whether you are okay with where you are. That's always awkward.

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