You can take what is handed to you and use it as an excuse to mess up. But I've always handled what was given to me by life. I consider myself lucky. I was never lied to. And I was loved.
When you see how you react when you suffer that's when you know what you are made of.
People are pretty respectful for the most part.
I think you have to know how you feel when you're sad and it's healthy to mourn if a relationship ends.
I like to be judged by my family and friends because they know me.
I'm so accustomed to being alone.
I've never been crazy. I'm a very good girl, to be honest. I don't do anything to hurt anybody.
I grew up reading 'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice' - girly kind of books.
I'm a grown woman and sometimes, I might be a little fat, you know? Am I alone there? Not really.
In this world, everyone wants to know everything about you, and I think that's funny.
You know how you're supposed to choose between playing up your eyes or your lips? I always choose lips. I love the drama.
When I do get free time, I spend a lot of it at home with my family and my close friends and I think that's what keeps me happy, healthy, grounded, and totally in check.
I always change my hair, but I don't like haircuts!
I couldn't relate to kid stuff. 'Jimmy doesn't like me!' Who cares? I was worried we didn't have gas money or food. Those were my concerns.
