I think I would want to be a therapist or sociologist. I love talking to people about their relationships and life problems, understanding where it comes from, and giving insight that's helpful. Also, it would be fun to just marry rich and vacation a lot. That's my real second choice.

We don't mess with squads. Our friend group is not, like, a strategic thing. There's no strategy to our friendships. There's no strategy to the circle of girls. Everyone's, like, bound together for different things.

I have no interest in feeling like a trophy. Money itself has never been attractive to me; instead, I prefer ambition and integrity.

I think, in anyone's career, you have to map out some sort of strategy of steps that take you closer to the career you want.

My own sense of family, where I came from and what I made for myself is an important part of my life.

I wasn't being followed around by paparazzi all the time. I was able to be a kid and spend that time with my family and not grow up too quickly.

I talk a lot about the men in my family because my mother died when I was little, and my grandmother died when my aunts were little, so we didn't have those kinds of heads of household. But all the members of our household who were female were sort of living as equal and as wise as the male figures in our family.

I wish that the adults who are 'in power' cared more about what their children read. Books are incredibly powerful when we are young - the books I read as a child have stayed with me my entire life - and yet, the people who write about books, for the most part, completely ignore children's literature.
