When you're changing your diet, or you're becoming a vegan, your system will become a bit more sensitive, and you just have to deal with it.
— Kat Graham
When you're an entertainer, it's hard not to compare yourself with the next person's success. But you have to trust your own journey and your strengths and believe in yourself. I think that's the best place to start.
I'm more of a tough girl, and I'm attracted to things that reflect that in my perfumes. That means sandalwood, musk, amber, and vanilla notes.
Make your life about you, and once you build up yourself first, then you can focus on boys.
Even if you throw your hair up in a quick topknot or ponytail, you can add instant polish by wearing a headband or bejeweled barrette.
Water for People is a non-profit international organization that brings together communities, entrepreneurs, governments - people - to create solutions that empower people to maintain their own reliable water systems and sanitation.
I'd say when it comes to being who you are, just don't be afraid to try things.
I'm hoping I'll eventually get to be a beauty blogger myself because I do my own makeup, and I have for years.
Sometimes fashion designers will be like, 'This is what's hot right now, and you will be cool if you wear this,' but sometimes it's too expensive or doesn't look good on me or isn't who I am, and I don't need to just think that what you're saying is what's cool if I have my own identity.
I'm really into kind of finding different masculine pieces and making them feminine. Like cool oxfords.
My style is not trendy by any means; my inner artists loves to shine through in my wardrobe.
I've been doing acting since I was 6 years old, and I don't know how to do anything besides act and sing. Back in the day, you had to do it all - you had to sing, dance, and act. I'm from the old school where that is what I was trained to do, and that's what I am expected to do, so it's weird when people ask me to choose.
I don't really have a main source for my style inspiration. It's really about however I feel about myself at the moment.
I'm not somebody who's emotionally attached to an outcome of a character that I'm hired to play. The fans are.
My first audition as a little girl was 'Interview with the Vampire' for Kirsten Dunst's part. Back then, they were meeting all different kinds of girls, and I was one of them. There's got to be an audition tape somewhere on VHS. Who would have known that many years later I would be on a vampire show?
When you get bullied, you automatically think that you're the reason why you're getting bullied. The reality is, it's about them, not you... I'm all about blocking people. I'm all about saying, 'You know what, I don't need this in my life.'
If you're cast on 'The Vampire Diaries,' the likelihood of you dying is very good.
I feel like I can't be sick without some story being made up or some photos being sold a month later.
I like darker, mysterious scents and things that reflect my personality.
If a boy messes up, you walk away. If a boy isn't treating you right, you walk away. It sounds simpler than it is, but you can't allow yourself to be disrespected. You have to be a strong girl.
I was raised in Hollywood by my mother.
There's a common misconception that you don't need SPF during the grey winter months, but it's so important to protect skin from UVA/UVB rays year-round.
If you don't feel clean, it affects everything you do; you can't even focus right.
I found my style and how I like to do makeup from trying and failing and trying and failing again, and unfortunately, I had to do it publicly to figure it out.
Listen, I'm not a politician. I'm not a news reporter. I make music, and I act.
Take chances, find your voice in fashion, and find what you like, and find what makes you feel good, and do that.
I think sometimes when you want attention, you can wear sunglasses, and people are like, 'Who is that?'
I love to add '90s trends mixed with modern day pieces I find along my many travels. Like these cool fun hats from Europe I have. I love to collect different ones from every country. I have them from London to Brussels.
I'm a smoky eye girl. I love playing with eye colors, metallics... fun stuff!
I think it's important to have your own individual style and sense of self. It's kind of what I do.
Will Smith is one of my favorite actors, and he's also a triple threat. He successfully crossed over from music into acting. Also, I liked 'I Am Legend' because it was so unexpected. The movie wasn't what I thought it'd turn out to be.
I hope to do multiple characters throughout my life that are separate from me. I think it's a cop-out if you play yourself in everything.
I had racially prejudiced comments directed at me on different blogs. People think that just because you're in the spotlight, you're fair game. It's hard, and I don't think you're ready at any age for it. Thankfully, I have some great fans who got me through it.
I think that with 'The Vampire Diaries,' you never know what's going to happen, and I don't think the characters necessarily know, either. So you can only weigh so much, and then it might just come down to 'kill or be killed.'
I don't feel like I necessarily juggle. I just feel like I'm focusing on being a singer/actor. That's what I am, and it's what I do.
I follow so many beauty bloggers on Instagram.
It's important to keep your power and not give it up.
I love sparkly eyes for the holidays, especially New Year's Eve.
I love outdoor winter activities like snow tubing and snowball throwing.
I only write in blue ink.
I think magazines and interviews make celebrities into this bigger-than-life thing, but I've gotten bullied over trying different things with my makeup.
Sometimes what I think what the news is missing is the human element, the connection - the moment that you look into a little girl's eyes or a father who has just left his family and risked everything just to try and survive.
I like different statement jewelry, especially around the ears.
The hardest thing as somebody who does both is - and I'm very serious as an actor, and I consider myself very serious as a musician, engineer, music artist - is learning that it's OK to be versatile.
On my days off, I love denim cut off shorts with gladiator sandals and crop tops.
You make your mark by being true to who you are and letting that be your staple.
It's important for me to just be myself - in fashion. A lot of people overlook that side of me because they're scared of it, but that's just who I am.
'Blade' was amazing; I can't imagine the character without Wesley Snipes. He just made a long, black leather trench coat look so cool.
I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved who I am not. Even if you're not accepted, at least you are still yourself.
I have more of a desire to write songs about being an independent woman than being in love, songs about getting up and moving on even if I have a broken heart. 'Wanna Say' is one of the few love songs I've ever done.
