“I learned about poise and dignity, and I learned about what it means to be an Af…” — Kat Graham

I think sometimes when you want attention, you can wear sunglasses, and people are like, 'Who is that?'

I think that with beauty, people jump to the end instead of starting from the beginning with a good lotion or prep.

My experience with music, I'm not going to say extremely negative, but it's definitely been a grind; it's been grimy - it hasn't been a pretty process. It's left me crying, you know, on the carpet in my tiny apartment with, like, no money. But it's been worth it, it's my passion, my dream, it's what I love to do.

People automatically assume that because you're an actor, you're a blank canvas 24/7. But I can't wear what everyone else wears. If I went to an audition, I'd wear what the character would wear, but the moment I'm done with the audition or done filming, I go back into my high-waisteds.
