On working on her own terms:
"I just realized I am happier and do better work if I'm doing what I believe in."

On not shying away from voicing her thoughts:
"I've never had a problem saying my opinions about things," she said, adding, "I never stop myself from doing something because I'm afraid of what people might think."

On getting along with other gals:
"I did go through this period where girls would be mean and I had a lot of guy friends. But I've found as an adult the importance of having female and male friends."
