When your pants are the right length or a dress fits your body exactly, you look put together.

I’m trying to stop focusing on my flaws and appreciate what I love about my body.
It’s toughthe need to be perfect was drilled into me when I did ballet.
But I think people are sick of stick-thin actresses.
I mean, it’s not real.
People have said to me, ‘Wow, you look so much bigger on TV.’
I can’t let that hurt me.
You have to be comfortable enough with yourself to say, ‘Screw off.
I like how I look, and I’m not going to starve myself.'”

Well, there was one not-so-good one, but I probably learned the most from it.
It’s important to explore, because someday you will find the person who completes the equation.
When you’re that in love, you want to gush to the world!
But I gush to my family and friends instead.
No one should jump on the couch on TVever.”
