Shay Mitchell is an interesting person, here are interesting quotes from her:
Shay Mitchell on a bully's insecurity.
I realized that bullying never has to do with you. It's the bully who's insecure.
Shay Mitchell on imperfections.
Take that one thing you don't like about yourself and more often than not that's the one thing that makes you more special. Whether it's that gap in your teeth, that mole you never liked, or your skin color.
Shay Mitchell on not fitting in.
Growing up, I wish I hadn't tried so hard to fit in. I'd tell myself to just embrace what you were born with because it's beautiful and you were made like that for a reason. It's tough being a girl. I think we need all of the support we can get.
Shay Mitchell's teenage aspirations.
When I was in high school, I wanted to be a counselor and I wanted to work with kids. I've been through the worst of high school. And I want to motivate people to live the best life that they can, because we're only here for one life.
Shay Mitchell on on chewing gum on red carpet.
There's nothing worse than seeing someone chewing gum on the red carpet!
Shay Mitchell on growing up in a white neighborhood.
I grew up in a predominantly Caucasian community, and most of my friends had blonde hair and blue eyes. So I was always straightening my hair, wearing colored contacts, and I never tanned, if I could help it.
Shay Mitchell on reading good books, and then reading "Fifty Shades of Grey".
I'm reading a lot of different books, but I always think I have to switch it up a little bit. It's like food - everything in moderation, same with my books, same with my reading. You read books that are good for you and you learn a lot of stuff, then you read 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' which is like candy.
Shay Mitchell reflects on being a teenager.
You lie when you're a teenager, I think because your parents are treating you like you're younger and you - in your mind - think that you're so much older. You make up all of these lies because you think it's what you should do.
Shay Mitchell on being the worst kind of outcast -- a high school one.
In high school, I was an outcast... I wasn't cool to hang out with. I ate my lunch in a bathroom stall because that was the one place I could go where I wouldn't be seen.
Shay Mitchell on inner beauty as opposed to outer.
We all have to find beauty within us, as opposed to just our exterior.
