Sometimes, people are good, and that makes me feel really, really good about people.

Roman Ondak began with just a bare white canvas of walls. He was the first one to measure himself against the wall. The exhibit was then open to others who were also encouraged to add a piece of themselves to the artwork. He entitled it Measuring the Universe and soon the walls were covered in names of people with different heights and stories. An estimated 90,000 people have written their names to help contribute to the piece of growing and living art.
“I think it really does begin to make you think about ideas of space in the universal and the infinite in a really interesting way but it is also very, very personal and this sense of this kind of white void when the exhibition opened being slowly built by all of these points, these names and it is almost like a kind of constellation of stars.”

The acting part of me is not me. The music side is who I really
am and what I want to talk about. It’ll be hard for people to
differentiate those different sides but I think it’s possible. Once the
music is out there, people will start to realize how serious I am about
it rather than “Oh god, another actress making an album.“
Become friends with people who aren’t your age. Hang out with people whose first language isn’t the same as yours. Get to know someone who doesn’t come from your social class. This is how you see the world. This is how you grow.

“Don’t ever give up. You’re going to be told, ‘no’ a lot more than you’ll be told ‘yes.’ Even to this day, I’m told no all the time. You can’t let it discourage you. There’s been times where I’ve said, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore. I’m tired,’ and then everything just starts going again. Some people are very lucky and they just get it right off the bat, and for other people, it takes more time for. If you really want to do it, whatever career you choose, you just have to keep going. Literally, don’t let ‘no’ get you down. Somebody’s going to say, 'no,’ but somebody else is going to say, 'yes.’”
“People will make mean comments. People
are going to say that you’re fat, that you’re this, that you’re that. You just
have to be comfortable in your own skin.”
Surround yourself with the right people, and realize your own worth. Honestly, there are enough bad people out there in the world - you don’t need to be your own worst enemy.
