I love sparkly eyes for the holidays, especially New Year's Eve.
-
I don't feel like I necessarily juggle. I just feel like I'm focusing on being a singer/actor. That's what I am, and it's what I do.
-
I just wanna be a good artist.

It's so important to get your skin to look even, whether it's with a MAC Cosmetics glow, a Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, or even just a solid foundation. Start off with a good prep and a good primer.
-
I'm like, 'Why aren't artists owning their masters? Why are labels robbing artists dry, and they have to spend all this time on tour to even break even?' Like, what happened? Why are they promoting things that aren't either socially conscious or elevating the human consciousness?
-
I have more of a desire to write songs about being an independent woman than being in love, songs about getting up and moving on even if I have a broken heart.
-
I like different statement jewelry, especially around the ears.
-
I think magazines and interviews make celebrities into this bigger-than-life thing, but I've gotten bullied over trying different things with my makeup.
-
To me, success is making a positive difference through art - making art that affects the world and that changes the way people feel about themselves and the world.
-
Make your life about you, and once you build up yourself first, then you can focus on boys.
-
I feel like I can't be sick without some story being made up or some photos being sold a month later.
-
I'm all about high-waisted pants and skirts, pencil skirts, and sheer, long-sleeves in the summer.
-
I like the idea of being so passionate about everything I do and the fact that I might wake up tomorrow and say 'I want to be a chef,' and just pour myself into that.
-
Anyone who knows me knows what I'm about - how much I'm into empowerment, equal rights and everyone just loving themselves.
-
I think a lot of young girls see actresses, and they think of red carpets, and they think of 'Us Weekly,' and they don't really think about the breaking down of a script and what that requires and what you would need to pull it off.
-
I think with girlfriends, you always want your girlfriends to make the decisions for themselves, not based on a boy, not based on anything other than, 'Is this what you want?' Is this you know what you want to do?' And that's real support to me.

Water for People is a non-profit international organization that brings together communities, entrepreneurs, governments - people - to create solutions that empower people to maintain their own reliable water systems and sanitation.
-
If you're a boxer, you have your trainer. As an actor, I have Ivana Chubbuck. She's my teacher as an actress and in this crazy thing called life.
-
Sometimes what I think what the news is missing is the human element, the connection - the moment that you look into a little girl's eyes or a father who has just left his family and risked everything just to try and survive.
-
I just don't drink alcohol. I never have; I never will.
-
I just want to live on the road. I can't understand artists that don't want to perform and, like, get on stage and do their songs for all their fans every night. If I'm not performing every night, I get totally depressed. I know that sounds really weird, but I hate sitting at home and not having a 1 A.M. performance now. It kills me.
-
I learned that it's OK to be stubborn about your craft, and it's OK to demand excellence from the industry.
-
It's really important, especially for young girls, to see that if you fall down, you get back up. If you get sick, you get back up. People are going to say what they want.

Before 'The Vampire Diaries,' I was making beats, which is how I got will.i.am's attention, and I went on tour with him.
