Here are the top 10 motivational quotes written by her:

1) Just because I don’t have a college degree doesn’t mean I am not smart!

2) I think there are plenty of soulmates out there. That’s what I chose to believe.

3) I think women should wear whatever makeup they want for themselves. Makeup should be fun.

4) I was a good-looking kid. I never felt, like, dorky. I was just like, ‘Yup, these are my braces. I’ve had them forever.

5) Drama is hard for me. Crying is much harder for me than laughter.

6) I’ve never played someone where I felt it was beneficial to build from the outside in.

7) I feel strongly about anything, I get overwhelmed with emotion.

8) My lodge is PG-13 sometimes, and I really want Josh Grogan to propose to me, and he just won’t do it.

10) It’s definitely a shock to go from being 15 in high school to working. There’s no real cushion there. There’s no preparation at all. You learn by doing.
