I grew up saying, 'I want to be famous,' but that was just the words that you used. As I got older, I understood that what I really meant was, 'I want to be successful.' ”

We all know what it's like to want to have that support from our family members and the people that we love, especially our parents. ”

I love going to karaoke with friends if I'm having a really tough time. ”

I really had to figure out who I was and be confident in my own skin. Now I've done that, and I'm very happy in a relationship. ”

My longest relationship with my first boyfriend was eight and a half years. We broke up a handful of times over those years, but he was my first love, I was his, and we were each other's firsts. ”

I've never had the passion of wanting to be the next Monica or Beyonce or anything like that. ”

I was always more of a Lydia Deeds than a Disney Princess, so anything offbeat like that, I would love to be a part of. ”

First and foremost, Luke Perry was my very first celebrity crush ever in life. I still cannot believe that we're friends. ”

There's no guarantee, and there's no proper path to follow that will directly lead you to where you want to go, but stick with it. If you know in your bones that this is what you were put on this earth to do, and the world would be a darker place without you pursuing your dreams, then keep at it. ”

I can't express enough to anyone who is fighting for whatever their dream is, whether it's to become a doctor, or a teacher, or a photographer - it doesn't matter - it's such a hard, hard road. ”
