I'm comfortable in front of the camera, but I can't act.

I read a lot of 'Spark Notes' in high school.

I love Chelsea Handler.

I can sleep anywhere. I'm like an infant.

One of my biggest goals, especially with writing YA novels, is just to have people enjoy reading.

I don't stage my own publicity.

I love anything really feminine. I love any sort of girly detail - anything with a bow or a heart on it, I'm immediately in love with.

I think that like most girls in high school, I just mirrored what was around me.

I've always been a big fan of Phillip Lim. He'll always be a favorite of mine.

I go into meetings, and people have this preconceived notion of me that I didn't work hard to get where I am.

You should never need a guy to make you feel complete.

I think it's definitely important to look like yourself on a date. You don't want to look like someone else with too much makeup or too much hair.

In high school I spent most of my time in jeans and T-shirts or Juicy sweats. We're such a laid-back town. I mean, people wore bikinis under their clothes half the time, so you didn't really get dressed up to go to school.

The normal 21-year-old doesn't have to worry about their night out being put on TMZ.

Like most people, I used to wear clothing off the rack. But having them fitted to me makes a really big difference, especially with pieces like a cocktail dress. Little nips and tucks can take 10 pounds off you.

I never wanted to end up in entertainment; that wasn't the goal.

A lot of people in fashion don't want to be linked with anything that has to do with reality TV.

No one eats pretty.

I try really hard to separate myself from other celebrity brands.

I think that makeup can be challenging, especially when you are younger.

I think that it's really nice to learn that makeup is different for every person. Everyone has a different feature on their face that they like to show off.

I think when you're put into a completely different situation and environment, you really see who you are. You're not affected by what's around you. You are who you are.

I like wearing scarves in my hair because they make me look put together without taking a lot of time.

If you're on the cover of any magazine, you certainly get recognized more.

Most of my friends all tend to work in restaurants part time, doing acting classes on the side.

I love going on book tours because it's an opportunity to connect with the people that matter most to my brand.

I really, really want to produce. That's the top of my to-do list.

I think there is a niche for every market.

I like to involve myself in charities that help children and also young women in need.

I've always been open to doing reality again. Just under certain circumstances.

Five years on TV is a really, really long time.

You don't want a slob, but you don't want a guy who is constantly borrowing your tweezers.

I can't even read a script. I've tried and it's painful to watch.

Scripts are corny and predictable. Real life is always better.

I'm meant for California.

The only thing that ever really bothers me is that a lot of people think I'm that girl who hates your boyfriend. I'm really not that girl. Some of my friends' boyfriends are my best friends.

I wouldn't include a piece in my collection that I wouldn't wear personally.

As a designer, you are flattered to see anyone in one of your designs, whether it's on a red carpet or passing by you in the market. It's this wonderful little high every time.

At the end of the day it's going to hurt your feelings if someone says something mean about you, but I've learned to take a step back and ask myself if it's really going to affect me, if this person who I'm never going to know or meet doesn't like me - and it doesn't.

You can't use the fact that I'm bisexual against me if that's something I'm proud of.

I am proud to be part of a community that only projects love and education and the support of one another.

Read your contracts. Up and down, left and right.

I rekindled a friendship I hadn't had in a long time, and I was reminded of all the parts of me that had left. I was like, 'Wow, I love to paint and to write and to be outside.'

I'm everywhere; I'm just a soul that's floating around here on earth.

I love music; I love performance. I love everything revolving around art. But I also am really passionate about politics and human rights and science and the environment. Those are things that fascinate me.

I am a bisexual Cuban-American woman, and I am so proud of it.

You need to accept yourself for who you are and surround yourself with a good group of girl friends that'll lift you up instead of put you down.

If you love women, and you want to sing about love, don't feel the need to say 'he.' Don't feel the need to adapt to the society or the culture.

Having those positive friends around can really make a difference in how you view yourself. It's helped me realize that there's no such thing as having a perfect body, and just because I'm not shaped the same way as another girl is, it doesn't mean I'm not pretty. It just means that no two girls are alike.

When someone like me, who is in the entertainment industry, which is a huge falsity of its own, tries to talk outwardly about politics, especially as a woman, I receive a lot of 'Shut up - just sing and dance for us, you idiot.'
