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. I pushed myself to the extreme because I woke up one day and had hips - and a butt - and thought, 'Oh my gosh, I'm getting fat!'
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.
Being on a television show and having so many fans is something that I've never experienced before, and it's really neat when they come up to you and are like, 'That storyline is amazing and really spoke to me in my life,' and it's really cool. I really enjoy it.
Why the heck do we allow the media to ever tell us someone is gross? It makes me so mad. 99% of the world has flaws.
