my role models

"Being female, you are raised up to be a good, sweet and not to flip out. So I had to give myself premission to be mean and evil. It's tough. But I've always been drawn to the darker side of things."

"When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire."

“I want other girls to see me and think, “If she can do it, I can too.” I’m speaking from my experience. There is nothing that I cannot do, I’m sure of it. I always see people I admire and think, “If they can do it, I can too” and it makes me try harder. I’d like people to see me and not give up in their endeavors"

“When I first got to New York, my feet hit the sidewalk and you’d have thought I was born and raised there. I took over that town. None of my friends took me seriously. I came home and announced, ‘I’m going to move to New York,’ and they were like ‘OK.’ Then when I did, they kept waiting for me to fail and come back. But I knew I wouldn’t. I was like, ‘I’ll show you.’”

"I know this sounds like clishe, but you can't give up. You have to stay true to yourself. There is gonna be a lot of failures along with succes. So I think presistence is the key."

"“I like the idea of being whoever I want to be.”

“I think it’s a good thing to be proud of who you are, no matter what.”

"I have a sick feeling of being mocked all the time. I have a lot of self-loathing. Self-loathing doesn't keep me from being happy. But that doesn't mean I don't struggle. I am very vulnerable. But I can be aggressive, hurtful, domineering and selfish, too. I'm emotionally unpredictable and all over the place. I'm a control freak."
