I think self-love isn't some destination you get to and you are then incapable of feeling those feelings, but a journey in which you adapt your experiences to make for a happier life.

My parents always supported me and complimented me on other things, not just my looks. They told me I was capable, that I was smart, that I was creative.

Wearing too much makeup definitely makes my skin worse.

I like looking wet, sweaty, dewy, fresh.

My version of makeup is a really intense skin regimen. I just think it's a healthier way to look at beauty.

I moved to New York for school right after I turned 18, but I started getting into trouble - so I went home to L.A. to regroup.
