beautiful waiting quirky
It used to bother me - having bigger, fuller brows. I even plucked them once so I'd fit in, but I hated them and couldn't wait for them to grow back. Now I embrace them. I realized the quirky things that make you different are what make you beautiful.

My dad knows how to tell a story. He'd make me laugh by doing all the different voices.

Starting at 16 years old I was in boardrooms of older executives pitching talk shows. I wanted to be the youngest talk show host for a really long time.
different mum felt
I felt different although my mum kept reminding me it was OK to be different.

I don't really have a favorite song. Music is such a big part of who I am, and speaks to so many different emotions inside me, that I don't have an all-time favorite.

People are quick to jump to conclusions.

Decisions are the endless uncertainties of life that we'll not know if they're right until the very end, so do the best you can and hope its right.

But the thing is, I was never looking at a strategic way of gaining fame. That's not why I'm doing this.

I love clothes, but I don't have a specific favorite, because I'm very much a fashionista.

It's really important to stand up for yourself and not always agree with what people say if indeed you don't feel that that's true

I’m a huge fan of the books myself, so to know that I got to play Clary – who’s a literary heroine to me – was a huge honour.

I love hats, I'm such a fan of hats. You don't wear a fascinator everywhere you go, but there are ways to incorporate old Hollywood nuances into your looks today but also edge it up.
thinking judging think-before-you-speak
Think before you speak. Think before you judge. Think before you think you have a person all figured out...
real book twilight
The fans reacted very positively to me being cast [The Mortal Instruments] which, as a Twilight or Harry Potter franchise, when you read a book and you have someone in your mind or you have a vision and then they're cast in real life, it can go either way. So I was very, very honored and happy that they were excited.
