There are so many things that can take over your life: money, alcohol, drugs - even fashion. People hand you things, and you start to believe life is easy. And it's not like that - you're not supposed to be the person you play in the movies.
I'm still learning who I am. One minute I have black hair, the next it's red. One day I'm wearing Converse sneakers, and the next I'm in the hippie look.
I try to keep my life as private as I can, but I definitely don't do what I do for the attention because if I knew coming into that I would have all those people outside my house, I might have given myself a second thought.
I've never been that person to fake it, and say what everyone else wants you to say. Then you never have anything personal. If I wanted to be an actress all the time, I could do that. But I don't. I want to be real. I want to be a real person. That's what an artist is. An artist has to be honest. Without honesty, there's nothing.
Shopping, eating, and being with my friends. So, anytime that I am at home chillin', I will find a way to shop online. I'm like, "If I'm not allowed out of the house tonight then I am shopping online!
Making a film is like learning the ropes all over again.
I like keeping my mind as far away from money and the material aspects of my job as possible.
I don't understand how most pop stars live this life being told what to do, what to wear, all the time. Maybe money does mean more to some people.
I'm not really trying to be sexy. I try to explain to girls that you don't have to have long blond hair and big boobs.
When you go to a club it's not about being black or white or heavy or thick. I'm shaking my ass because I want to shake my ass, not 'cause "I'm dancing like a black girl!"
I don’t think famous is what I necessarily went for. The media was never something I really looked into and now especially I see it happening to me I think I was very smart when I was younger to not want that. It doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen, I just avoided it as much as possible.
I'm just about equality, period. It's not like, I'm a woman, women should be in charge! I just want there to be equality for everybody.
Ever since I was little, people would always make jokes about my low voice. But I think it's so cool that you don't have to have the picture-perfect, girly voice to do an animated film. I think it's great for kids with different voices to know that they could do something like this.
