thinking were-meant-to-be connected
When your whole being is attracted to someone else's whole being, then I think that is someone you were meant to be connected with at some point.
writing ideas voice
I used to go into rooms of older executives and try to pitch talk show ideas and when I was writing as a journalist I would pitch ideas for my articles and I definitely understand that excitement of a pitch and what that is to be young and a woman and trying to make your voice heard.
people different firsts
I had some difficult times when I first moved to Los Angeles when people would tell me I was saying things wrong. I felt different although my mum kept reminding me it was OK to be different.
character thinking advice
I'm such a believer in going to set, even when you're not work because I think the best things to be learned, you don't necessarily get from your own scene or from someone speaking to you and telling you advice. I think it's all about watching and just taking it all in. It's not even when the cameras are rolling, necessarily. You can see how they interact with the rest of the crew, and how they deal with being a character and then being themselves.
thinking everything-happens-for-a-reason things-happen
I really think everything happens for a reason.
thinking people live-in-the-moment
I'm not one to hide anything, but I don't feel the need to comment directly on [my relationships]...I think it would be a shame to not live in the moment and not enjoy everything that's happening in fear of other people's opinions.
beautiful mom quirky
Big brows weren’t the look in L.A., where I grew up. But my mom instilled in me that it’s the quirky things that make you beautiful.
nice thinking ideas
In the '30s, every day was an event. And, as much as I love that idea, I think nowadays it's nice to have the differentiation of when you dress up and when you don't.
girl adventure new-experiences
My advice for girls who are waiting for their Prince Charming is to be open for anything. Be open to new experiences, be open to the idea that it may take longer than you want, but if you're open to meeting new people and new adventures, then love will come along.
taken different dresses
How women dressed every single day back in those days is seen as kind of incredible - it must have taken so much time. But there's something so romantic about that because it's so different to how we dress. That aesthetic is so appealing, it's not what we're used to nowadays.
smart believe heart
I do believe in listening to your mind as well that that you need to be smart about certain things, to protect yourself. You need a healthy mix of both really, but it's important not to think so much that you're not able to follow your heart.
nice special dresses
I don't wear dresses all the time - it's nice to save those moments for certain occasions and to make it feel extra special.
shining way mysterious
Life works in mysterious ways but when you find your inner glow is back and shining brighter, you know it's right.
thinking issues important
I think it's important to relate to one another about issues that you're having, because the second you open up and someone else says, 'Oh, me too. I feel the same way,' then all of a sudden, you feel more at peace with yourself and you can feel more confident with who you are.
