Personal Quotes

"I never really cared about what I looked like."

"I wanted to be like an actor or a comedian for a little while, because I was always wanting to make people laugh, and being stupid, so I never thought I'd be doing a job where you always have to look nice, and polished and sophisticated."

"Some girls get swept up in the lifestyle-clubbing and partying with celebrities. You can't live your life like that, though. It's fake."
