BRIA VINAITE

My earliest memory of freedom was when I was about 14 and I stopped caring what people thought about me! I was so free and in charge! That whole year I was exploring myself, and I was so 'free' that I got sent away to boarding school.

I didn't really go to school much, and I went out a lot. At 16, that's not something you should be doing.

I want to have the number one animated show in the world.

It's nice to stand out and not have to conform to all the beauty standards that just don't even make sense anymore.

Yellow is my favorite summer color - it makes me feel like a sunflower.

I've been really picky about the sort of characters that I want to represent.

People should have affordable places to live. That's a fundamental right.

It's really nice to have hobbies that don't involve any sort of technology.

We all judge people.

I pay my rent and my bills and I buy food and toys for my dog and that's it.

I never counted how many tattoos I have, but I started getting them at a really young age, so most of my big ones are cover-ups.

Every day I have this crazy schedule that happened overnight - it's a lot to process.

I really hope that the traditional sort of girl that people view as an actress changes. There's room for everyone, you know? All of us bring different things to the table. It's nice to show people that you don't have to be one type of personality to do this.

So many people want to have this typical look and this typical everything and it's all the same everywhere.

I can't help but be thankful, and really appreciate everything I have been through, good and bad, because it got me here!

I think any time I'm nervous I just pretend that I'm not, and that's how I deal with it.

I am obsessed with LaCroix, and I drink so much of it.

I love lace because it can be really feminine, sexy, or dark. There are so many ways to wear it, no matter what your style.

I definitely need to learn how to take compliments, because it was very weird to go from sitting in my house all of the time to having hundreds of people coming up to me and congratulating me and telling me I did a good job.

I want to do comedy, I want to do horror, I want to do all these other things.

I would never post something making fun of depression or mental health, or picking at people.

There are so many things we don't know about because they don't get spoken about, and people might be embarrassed to speak up or might be shamed into not speaking up.

It's kind of almost not fair that certain people don't get the opportunities that others get just because of where they are born or where they were brought up.

I'm not a spiritual person, but I really believe in the power of the mind and I really believe in manifesting things.

There's not enough opportunity, and I feel like you can't control where you're born or where you're brought up.
