Autism currently affects one in 88 children in the U.S., and its prevalence continues to rise. That's why it's important to help organizations like Autism Speaks raise awareness and funds to support families and individuals impacted by it.

A friend of mine works for Autism Speaks. It's an amazing cause that is making a real difference in the lives of so many people.

Autism doesn't have to define a person. Artists with autism are like anyone else: They define themselves through hard work and individuality.

I think the most important thing that I've learned is that you live and you learn. Try not to make the same mistakes twice.

Why are women always the ones who have to forgive? If you cheated on a man, he would be like, 'You're disgusting, and I want nothing to do with you.' But women, we're supposed to be like, 'He messed up. He made a mistake.'

I'm very open and honest, and I feel like it's important for women to hear that we're not perfect; none of us are perfect. And sometimes we aspire to have these ideas in our heads of what perfection is, and I probably would've been better off if I'd left myself alone.
