Quotes:
“I feel like it’s always important to curl your eyelashes. I always do when I wake up and you know you look tired, when you curl eyelashes and put mascara it makes such a huge difference, so that’s the trick that I always use.”
“I am able to really enjoy the positive attention I receive.”
“In any job, you have to give up certain things, and I believe that having a good quality of life means enjoying certain things only in moderation.”
