My biggest growth has been sitting with things that are uncomfortable and dealing with them.
You can change your fate. You can sit back, or you can go after your life and all that you want it to be.
I believe that the definition of luck is when preparation meets with opportunity.
I don't think people should have boundaries put on them, by themselves or society or another gender, because it's our birthright to experience life in whatever way we feel best suits us.
As long as we dare to dream and don't get in the way of ourselves, anything is possible - there's truly no end to where our dreams can take us.
You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?
This is my one and only life and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing and none of us come out of it alive.
All you have to remember is 'audition' is synonymous with 'opportunity. I mean, if you absolutely hate auditioning, do you also hate opportunities? That wouldn't make much sense.
I think that we're all continually searching for who we are, and that's ever-evolving and changing.
I'm always looking for opportunities, even when they're not offered to me. I will have no hesitation to pick up the phone and call a director or call a writer.
One thing I've learned: You never know where life is taking you, but it's taking you.
I stopped trying to chase the perfect place to be, and realized the perfect place is with your loved ones and your closest friends, around the dinner table, over a good meal, talking about the past year and the year to come and things that you want to change in your life. You hear their stories and talk about things you'd like to see happen in the world. That's what we do.
There's no negatives. You just have to trust that what's happening in your life is unfolding in exactly the right way.
Growing up in a lower-income family, you don't have the resources to make ends meet and you have to find creative ways to get by.
I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream. I never thought this would ever happen.
Sometimes you have to get to the heart of a character through your heart. Your own heart. And it's what makes us similar and what makes us different.
I'm a risk-taker. It's where my passion lies, so I don't want to play it safe. That means I'm going to fail sometimes.
I wouldn't change my past for anything, because I think it's made me who I am. I'm so enormously grateful for all that I have in my life.
I ended up dropping out of high school. I'm a high school dropout, which I'm not proud to say, ... I had some teachers that I still think of fondly and were amazing to me. But I had other teachers who said, 'You know what? This dream of yours is a hobby. When are you going to give it up?' I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there
I am a competitive person with myself. I always find new goals to achieve, new challenges to breakthrough, and I try and do something new every day. And I'm highly competitive with myself.
To me, working out is literally like eating a meal or drinking water or breathing.
What do dreams know of boundaries?
I had to fight my whole life to break out of my circumstances. That's just part of my makeup.
I cut coupons, love specials and believe in buying toilet paper and toothpaste in bulk. It's just who I am.
Oh, the Places You'll Go!,' by Dr. Seuss, is still one of my favorite books ever.
