I love my mom so much, and I always have, but I was definitely a monster to her a lot during my teen years.

I can't make eye contact when people sing 'Happy Birthday' to me.

I wore a $30 vintage wedding dress for my 8th birthday in an underground jazz club in Seattle. This was what I wanted.

I know I don't look edgy, but I have found that in my personality, I just have this natural energy that I enjoy edgier characters, and I really want a chance to sink my teeth into something like that.

I honestly think what skyrocketed me into professionalism was learning how to play two people and still live through the day.

I think when things get hard with your family, it's really easy to want to isolate yourself. The world is so harsh, so when stuff happens outside, you want to go to your family, but when stuff happens inside your family, you sort of start to feel like, 'I'm alone. There is no place I can go to where just nothing will happen to me.'

I love 'Extreme Makeover Home Edition.' It feeds my Fantasy Dream Home monster that lives inside of me.

Everything is just so much more romantic and real when it's yours and it's private.

It's hard to be a teenager. It's lonely, and you feel like no one understands you. I think that's natural, and my mother let me have the space to feel that way.

I think it works differently for everyone. Some people do amazing things with research, but for me, it just gets convoluted, and I start to think too much.

Laziness in my biggest pet peeve of all time. Get up, make a plan, do the work, and love yourself, people!
