A man in a position of power over me used that said power to try and take advantage of me.
— Lili Reinhart
It's just a matter of finding the styles, finding the fabrics, shapes, that accentuate your own body. You can't be altered, but the clothes can.
With any teen show, there's going to be drama and heartache.
Sometimes people will approach me on the street and ask me very personal questions about my dating life. Fans talk to me like they know me, and it's like, 'You don't know me. You know my character, but you really don't know me.'
School was a big source of anxiety for me. I hated school. I have social anxiety, and it developed when I was a kid. I had trouble going to birthday parties. It was always there. I begged my mom to let me be home-schooled at one point for a semester because I was so miserable at school.
I love to apply my foundation with BeautyBlenders - I just think it gives the most natural kind of glow, but I've learned from being on set that you should use a damp BeautyBlender but that you should dampen it with rosewater. It just kind of brings your skin to life a little bit more.
It's weird how much social media affects someone's career. Deals and jobs are sometimes based off how many followers you have, which is a little sad. I would rather that not be the case, but I understand that it's important.
When I get really passionate about something, the audition process is really strenuous and hard on me because I feel so much for the project, and I become so attached to it. It's hard. It's stressful because you want it so badly, and you're crafting this character that you're falling in love with.
Growing up, I watched a lot of TLC - I loved 'Four Weddings' and 'Hoarding: Buried Alive.' They're so binge-able.
I never had to do anything specific to craft my 'image.' I wanted people to know that I was a goofball, that I didn't take myself too seriously, and that I love what I do. On my Twitter and Instagram, whenever I can, I try and show myself. I'm not trying to be an Instagram model.
My relationships are between me and whomever I'm with, not between me and the world.
There's a definite rift in 'Riverdale.' There's a civil war between the Southside and the Northside. And Jughead being on the Southside and Betty's on the Northside, it becomes a bit of a 'Romeo and Juliet' situation.
I like to escape to the beach and kind of ground myself whenever I can.
I never had had a large group of friends, so I often felt a little out of place and like I was in a different mindset from everyone else around me because I was so focused on my acting career.
I think, growing up, the female friendships that I saw on television were portrayed as catty and vicious.
I'm not grateful for depression, but it honestly made me work harder and gave me the drive that I have to succeed and to make it work.
The response from the beginning has been really, really wonderful and positive. People have always really responded to me talking about mental health.
I feel like every time I tweeted something that was a little opinionated, or every time I posted something on Tumblr that seemed a little private, it's all of a sudden making news relationship-wise.
I moved across the country when I was 16, so I left my high school and finished school online in order to pursue my acting more.
People are going to criticize you no matter what, so I'm going to say whatever the hell I want to say.
Everything I'm thinking in my head goes onto my face, so you can see right through me.
My parents just had faith in me, and thank God they did. They weren't stage parents in the slightest.
My everyday look is casual, and I try not to wear makeup if I don't have to. I'll cover a zit with a little concealer, but I don't wear foundation on a daily basis. I maybe fill in my eyebrows.
When my skin is breaking out pretty bad, I try to leave it alone as much as I can. I don't want to pack on product after product, I think that makes it worse and kind of overwhelms your skin.
I have a sugar addiction - when I don't eat sugar, my body literally shakes. It's not something I'm proud of.
I just love spending the day at the beach and then staying inside all night.
Your feelings are validated by the fact that you're feeling them.
I've had social anxiety forever - I don't thrive in social or party settings.
I use an acne cleanser. I've always had that St. Ives apricot scrub. But I have bad skin sometimes.
I journal a lot for nobody but myself. Just to get my thoughts out and to clear my mind. That's very therapeutic to me.
High school was difficult for me because I was in the thick of dealing with my depression and anxiety.
I suffer from depression and anxiety, and having a show and having a character that portrays a young woman who is dealing with that and the consequences of it - how it affects her friendships and her relationships with her mom and her sister - it's beautiful to see that.
Taking ownership of your feelings is so vital to getting better.
It's always been something that I'm so able and willing to talk about that it's kind of foreign to me that people hide their depression and anxiety.
I grew up one of three girls, and none of them were into comic books, so I wasn't exposed to that world.
I actually didn't go to prom. I didn't have the chance.
I want to be relatable. I want people to know who I am, but that doesn't mean you get to know everything about me and my life. I think that there's a fine line.
I'm the kind of person, if I don't like you, unfortunately you know that.
I'm kind of a warrior for love, and I wear my heart on my sleeve.
I hate wearing too much makeup or caked-on foundation.
When you meet your best friend in real life, or you meet your soulmate, you just know it, and you feel it.
I grew up with a very small, select group of friends that I kept my whole life.
People post things on Instagram that they know people are going to like.
For teenage kids, they feel a pressure to sweep things under the rug because they feel like they're not important enough to have problems.
It's called a private life for a reason - it's mine, and it's special and sacred.
I think there's something about going on a hike and looking at a city view or looking at the ocean that brings you back to earth and kind of reminds you that your problems are quite small in retrospect.
I take, like, two baths a day. Is that weird? I don't know.
I remember growing up and seeing Vanessa Hudgens' Bongo campaign in magazines. I think I probably put a few of her posters on my wall, to be honest. I wore Bongo growing up, as did my older sister - I would get her hand-me-downs as well as my own new pieces when I went shopping.
I have a best friend in my life who I know is my soulmate.
Being a young woman in Hollywood is intimidating.
